To The Honorable Few.......

[IanLister]

To those like me who are doing the decent thing and waiting for the announcement, how are you spending the time?

Me, I'm explaining to my daughter why she can't use the computer to talk to her friends for the next 2 years, and to my wife why she isn't going to see me........her reply:"What did you say your name was again?" This after 19 years of marriage....then again, I've been married to wargames since 1976.

I'm just sitting in front of the comp sweating. It's s***hot outside today, anr the anticipation isn't really making me any cooler. I need that green light badly.....

[Bodhi]

Just had breakfast

[IanLister]

Me too...I could end up with repetitive strain injury in my mouse.

[Zorfwaddle]

Reading all the posts of people in their little frenzy [:)]
Considering booting up Space Empires IV while waiting for the announcement....

I'm just hoping I never have to be in a place where my life depends on my fellow man.

(I can't wait another 15 minutes. [:(] I'm weak. [:-]) For crying out loud.

Of course, if they get theirs and somehow we don't, boy will I be pissed.

I am curious though: if some have already downloaded their version, how come Matrix hasn't been able to do their download test?

Working on new planeside art-bookoo thankyous to subchaser for posting the jpeg..I've been working on WITP planes for the last three months, now, I'm pasting them in.

got a beer, tried to find a game I could play while constantly coming back to refresh my screens

[John B]

Working out how to break the news to my wife that I won't be mowing the lawn this weekend.... She'll be very understanding, I'm sure

[GameTester]

Hoping Eric announces everyone needs to download again..... yes, I'm bitter. [:'(]

[IanLister]

Perhaps death is one of the consequences of DDing too early, and so Matrix aren't getting feedback.

[Zorfwaddle]

Huh... thats something else I did. Went and googled "caveat emptor" [:)]
"Dammit Jim, Im a Russian linguist, not a Latin linguist!"

[John B]

Yes ... they didn't mention that line in the programming that causes PCs to spontaneously combust....

[tsimmonds]

Trying to close out June, getting job cost sheets confused with screen shots.

[IanLister]

I thought it was the users who spontaneously combust.....like I might if I can't DD soon...............................only joking;it'll be worth the wait, and anyway I estimate my DL will finish about 4a.m. so another few minutes won't matter. Question is, do I squeeze in a turn before breakfast and a day at work?

Watching the hysteria and getting a good chuckle. Have to work 'till 6:00 CDT then quick bite to eat then a two hour board meeting at 6:30. Home by about 9:00 tonight. Should know if everything is OK by then and officially announced.

Don't play Japan first then......or you won't be eating breakfast until afternoon sometime...
