				Ok Men
We are making progress and are just about there.  It will not be this holiday weekend.  We truly expect it will go gold Mid week.  We are really pouring on the features and killing bugs.  I will also like to state that a lot of the bugs you guys are reporting have been corrected with this build.  So please give this little extra time and I am sure you will not be sorry.

				Thank you, Sir! Take your time to kill all the bugs and make all the improvements.
BTW, could you give a hint how big the update from 4.5 to 5.0 will be? I'm using a modem, and it would be nice to know in advance, how long it'll take to upload the thing.

				I think its safe to say David that all of us loyal fans are more than willing to wait for you guys to squash all known bugs prior to releasing V5. I for one am more than happy to wait for even the possibility of a bug-free version.

				If you want to see how big the update will be, just go to the downloads page. It has the size of the patch and the full download. (I don't recall numbers off the top of my head.) Just scroll to the bottom of the downloads page, you'll find it.

				Hey Dave!
Will preordered cd's go out the same day that it is available or will they have to be made??  I decided not too tie up my phone line for a whole weekend downloading, and I ordered a few copies!   Thanks!

				All preorders will be shipped before we build the online download version.  There are only two of us on the main office and we can only handle one thing at a time.  Once all the reorders are shipped we will then the download version and place it online.  We also are doing the preorder first since you guys did pay upfront.

				Well, I just preordered the MC which of course will only delay the availability of the download version.  Oh well!
It'd be nice if everyone did the same.

In answering a question I posted about me moving and my address would be changing, paul said it wont be shipping for a "week or so"  So are we talking another 2 to 3 weeks to be able to download, and another 2 possibly to start shipping??
