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.

time.
