You're welcome.
Of course, the answer to *what does "soon" mean* is... "it depends."
I think 4-6 weeks sounds like a fair approximation. It will definitely
be announced over the discussion boards when it is available.
I apologize for the vagueness, but uncertainty is always abound. I
hope this answer helps.

Hi Toni,
Thanks so much for the quick response. Could you give us an
indication of "soon"? Within a month or so, or more like several
months?
Thanks again!
Julie
