Beta 0.91 complete; truckin’ on to the final release!

So, I’m taking that mode out and replacing it with a mode I call “Drop.” I’m not ready to say too much about it, but here’s a screen:





So, the blog will be relatively quiet until I can get .98 out to the testers, and then I’ll start building the promotional materials and outline my sales plan. Woo!
