And you best guess as to what percentage of people will download these 
source disks is? I give it less than 5%. maybe even 1%, since developers

Oh and test3 is in a highly finalized form - only critical bug fixes. 
Again I hope youre right, but doubt it based on what people have said. 
(If they do include them I'll give this thread at least some of the
