Thanks a lot Greg. What a wonderful idea to release the manual early... I have a question though as the release time approaches. Since most of your customer base probably isn't "Down Under", and all us nerds want to synchronize our watches to the countdown, can you tell us what office hours are for the 29th based on GMT so that we can narrow our expectations? As close as I can figure, you are about 14 hours ahead of me. A release sometime on the 29th plus or minus 14 hours is a long time.

Hmm - is it not now 27th down under - where is it?
Oh yeah - Hi folks - former Dopus Magellan user on the Miggy. Back to Dopus and waiting for my free upgrade, now. (only bought it a couple of weeks ago)
[quote="D-Dan"]Hmm - is it not now 27th down under - where is it? [/quote]Yeah...it's almost 9am in Sidney. I had asked what the office hours would be, but it's been real quiet. The quiet before the storm, I suspect.

But why is it that the Americans (and Australian Media Reporters) think that 'man' landed on the moon on July 20, 1969? In reality, for most of the world it was July 21 UTC.

[/quote]Maybe because they were Americans running on Houston TX time? You do have a point though. Americans expect everyone to do things on their schedule...unless it is a much awaited software release and we can use the time difference to our advantage. LOL

I was born on the 21st of July 1969 and was always told that they landed on the moon the day I was born. I was really confused later on as I was growing up to be told that they landed on the moon on the 20th of July It took me a while before I figured out the reason for the disparity ...
While I was waiting for the 27th to arrive I thought I'd join the forum! (Have been using DOpus for years and it's the only piece of software I would stay awake for!).
Just saw the 'The wait is nearly over' banner change to 'Soon...' which is really cruel!
Well, guess I should go sleep - does the first forum post on the 27th get a free upgrade??
Yanno, It COULD also be released at 11:59PM (2359hrs) at GMT - 11 or whatever is right before the International Date/Time line and still fit the bill ...
