I don't know why I didn't check this out back then.  I must say I agree
with Hal on how impressive it is, just based on the short amount
of time I have been trying it out.
Installation was simply unzipping two files, moving two delphi system files
to c:\windows\system, and then double-clicking the bin\apollo.rb file.
I was amazed also at how easy it seems, and how stable it initially feels.

But again, I have to try it some more.

Thanks Conrad for this reminder, and of course thanks go to 
Kazuhiro Yoshida :-)
