Well, there is nothing quite like sitting in a room with someone to
watch them reproduce the bug; words can be vague.  I suppose that
this is the closest I''ll get to that ideal bug report...(at least
over the internet).  Plus, I''ve been looking to put that $70 that
I''ve spent on screencasting software to work.

I have my project svn''ed, with an externals on the rspec and
rspec_on_rails repositories.  I''m at revision 1536 - Is this correct
for RC1?  Do I also need to update the gem?

Best,

Scott
