Subject Re: FB v1.0 Status Update

Thanks for the update. I am wondering how many patient folk are out
there waiting for FB 1.0 - hopefully a new download record will be
set!

Eventually my goal is to take my old development machines (1-Win32
and 1-Linux) to create a platform on which I can download the source
and build FB myself so I can be on the bleeding edge as well as offer
help testing.

Go Fireird!
