As mentioned elsewhere the ad was a mistake and was out only one month.

|3.0, but Jeez, how long must we wait, Oh Think?

3.0 has no offical date for availabilty.  People I've talked suggested
that it just went into beta and should be avilable before Boston MacWorld.
But those are rumors, so don't hold me or Think to them.

|that just released a new version that they'd be trying to steal the
|thunder from, but ya never know.

I personally think they annouced it to let us know what we could expect
from them in the distant future (original annoucment was last Novemember).
It's been awhile since the last update.  The reason they don't say when
can be answered in one word: "FullWrite."

|A symbolic debugger would be nice for me, since I own a Mac II, and
|the MacsBug supplied with my LSC inly causes my II to crash at boot=up
|(obviously not the current version), so I am debugger-less.

Run, don't walk, to your nearest computer store and order a copy of TMON.
Lists at a $150, you can find it mail-order for much cheaper (try ComputerWare).
Make sure you get versions 2.8 or 2.8.1 (the latest).
