Only halfway. What I mean is that I will write a new machine spec, the 
way I like it; then I'll post it and ask for comments. *But* I have not 
yet seriously started phase 1 of this plan, much less reached phase 2, so 
hold off a few months, please.

That's all.

(Well, I'll still have strong opinions when we reach phase 2, but worry 
about that later.)
