Default Re: chat with Lee Jones

"Real Soon Now", when capitalized, carries a certain caveat. [1] It means that yes, it will probably happen relatively soon, but various business or marketing issues could get in the way and prevent it happening, so don't take it with quite the faith that you would if somebody said "It's going to get dark real soon now."

Best regards,

[1] I can't take credit for the term - it originated with Jerry Pournelle - a sci-fi/technology writer who used to have the closing article in every issue of Byte magazine, around the time that most 2+2er's parents were thinking about conceiving them.
