Pay attention Guy.  He did say "in your lifetime".   Which I took to
mean that he knew that there will be a wait before the complete, free
Mach is available.

But everything I've heard says that a completely free Mach IS being
worked on seriously.  It might not be available next year, but hopefully
in our lifetimes.
