Really.. i dont really care how long they come out.. heck i dont even 
care if they come out with another (tho it is nice), I'm happy enough on 
my bpl 11 which i've already advanced a lot from a stock circle.  And 
since i've do some any edits and patches etc.. I prolly wouldnt be able 
to upgrade from a patch file easily.  Readlly.. if bpl 12 (or the 3.0 
realase) comes out..I prolly wont upgrade uless theres some must-have 
feature i really want in it, because it would be too much of a hassle
