Is the download link pointing to the correct version of the file? While the release date is 5/23/2007, the filename is 5/22/2005

I can't download the visio diagrams. Incorrect link ? But, an excellent guide :-)

The visio diagrams do not download - it appears the link is not valid. Is this going to be updated any time soon? But, all-in-all a wonderful resource - thanks to all of those involved.
