Agreed, but there is also the "multiply time by pi" factor. If we say "in a few months", people will be disappointed when (not if) we release after more than two months. If we say "end of 99/start of 2k", we may even be able to surprise people releasing earlier. > >And some nitpicking, the "4" in the PHP 4 logo looks really awkward. :-) > > Hmm, it's the same style as the 3 in the php3 logo, but you're invited to > try and improve it :) I think we can leave that to Colin. - Stig
