Real Soon Now

( adv.)

   [orig.  from SF's fanzine community, popularized by Jerry Pournelle's
   column in BYTE]

   1.  Supposed  to  be available (or fixed, or cheap, or whatever) real
   soon now according to somebody, but the speaker is quite skeptical.

   2.  When  one's  gods, fates, or other time commitments permit one to
   get to it (in other words, don't hold your breath). Often abbreviated
   RSN. Compare {copious free time}.
