That's right.
The cryptic message and the delay are supposed to
confuse hackers who might be trying to tamper with
your .exe file. Unfortunately, registered users who
installed 2.1 alpha or beta prior to March 29 of this
year may also see this message if they still have
any old alpha/beta files lying around.

Irv: I'll send you the 2.1 Official Release instructions again,
in case you need them.
