I concur, in a prototype of a distributed app I've been writing in
E 8.9.1, comm works perfectly fine amongst my various clients using
8.10alpha1.  So much so that I probably won't be firing up 8.9.1 anymore.

I would be highly interested in this. How do I persist my various SturdyRef's?
Also, If I can persist a group of SturdyRef's, will I be able to acquire 
the same URI's for them that I had from my last running session using just
introducer sturdyToURI(SturdyRef)?


And finally: Congratulations!! This is very exciting.


regards,
steve
