- I just spoke with Backmaster yesterday and could not get them to commit to
- _any_ sort of delivery date. I am going to join their Beta program to see
- what sort of stuff they are doing and will fill everyone in if there is no
- sort of non-disclosure agreement. Also, they sounded very much like IBM in
- that they considered quality to be a very important thing. They saw the
- problems (here on internet) about the CMS software and did not want to make
- the same mistake of introducing some buggy software.
