Already did, and you already answered them. :)

Great.  That is a huge relief.

Awesome.  Guess it is time to read up on Java,  lucky for me it looks
about 2 centimeters to the left of .NET.

Excellent.

Just a minor bump in version number. :)

That thought has been bugging me too.  That and the general shortage of
Obj-C savvy people.

All the Obj-C people are so old. ;)
