Thats one of the differences between the digital world and the photographic 
world. When the two first started to merge, I had a well respected member of 
the photo community spend an evening discussing a digital product he wanted to 
see developed. At the end of the evening he said "Think about it for a while, 
we need to decide within a year, and come out with a product within three years 
if we decide to go ahead with this." I replied "I'll have forgotten your name 
in a month. The longest time-to-market I'm willing to consider for a digital 
product is nine months." Different worlds, different paces. The same thing 
still seems to hold true here: Photokina is a lifetime away for me, with so much 
to do between now and then that a vacation this summer seems ludicrous!
