OmniWeb timebomb (not a bug, a suggestion)

Hello,
	Well, it's time for another upgrade.  I know that others don't like the  
cutoff policy, but I look forward to it.  Progress!  More features!  More bugs!   
:-)  

	I would like to make a suggestion, however.  When I logged in this  
morning and found that I couldn't use OmniWeb I immediately tried to ftp the  
new version.  However, there are a lot of people probably doing the same thing,  
because I couldn't get on.  Is it possible to let us know a day or two in  
advance?  Then we wouldn't be falling all over each other to upgrade.  


	Better yet, when the panel comes up maybe it should say "OmniWeb is  
going down soon.  Would you like to download the new version?" and Bing!  
OmniWeb ftp's, download's the new version, and updates itself!  Is that  
possible?  If not, then it could just put the new version in /tmp or somesuch  
and I can do the changing of the guard.

	Either way, keep up the good work.
