I think the rude tone of the above is uncalled for. The Fargo team consists
of reputable programmers working for FREE on a project to help the TI
community. This calls for thanks, not insults.
To clear a few things up, here's some Fargo news those of you not subscribed
to LZ might not have heard, taken from a July 11th post by Rob Taylor:

I've decided to come out of the closet: In case anyone hasn't
guessed yet, I'm the third developer of Fargo....
We don't want to release a beta just yet as there is a VERY
large section of teh specs not finalised yet.. Davel Ellsworth seem to
be on holiday at the moment so we're pretty much paralysed, but
as soon as he get's back we should be able to hack a developers
version together and allow developers to apply for a copy.... It could
take a while though...
Oh, and if you, the public, want us to finish it as fast a possible,
please don't send us lots of emails asking about fargo - it'll only
slow us down..
