tim's responsehi myrty, as per your request, i contacted tim. after a volley of emails asking for more specifics questions from my part, tim just answered. i do not feel comfortable quoting him directly right now.
basically, he said .. re your questions, news should soon be forthcoming that answer all your questions. not currently in the public domain so no way to be explicit.
to be continued. hope this helps.
jmo, sounds more optomistic than i expected. let's hope so.
