Jordan,
And three months is considered to be a suitable transition period? With all
due respect, give me a break. *hrmph*
If the old facility still works, why not leave both enabled? Does it hurt
anything in the meantime? Developments take time, and particularly since very
few of us actually get paid to do any work on this source if find a period
of 3 months a relatively short recoding/"forklift" period.
Cheers,
Chris
