Ted, that's great!

R-2.1.0 is scheduled to be released on April 18 (see 
http://developer.r-project.org/).

It would be even better if you could try out the recent beta release of 
R-2.1.0 right now in order to spot some possible bugs before release.

So it is the perfect occasion to clean up "norm" on R-2.1.0 beta this 
weekend. ;-)

Best,
Uwe
