Any guesstimate on when v7 will hit the infobahn?
A WAG is fine by me.
thanks,

WAG, militaryspeak for "Wild-Ass Guess". There's also TLAR "That Looks About Right". Both are essential concepts in any military operation.

Thanks - two more entries for my compilation of Netspeak acronyms. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Don't forget BOHICA, DILLIGAS and FIGMO!

Really these are "Milspeak-isms" not Netspeak-isms

Can't forget FUBAR or the brevity Code words CHARLIE FOXTROT and TANGO UNIFORM <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

HOTEL SIERRA, fellas.

Remember "Get your Hotel out of your Alpha"

<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> I remember my platoon in OCS getting yelled at because we knew more about BOHICA, DILIGAS, and
WAFWOT instead of our General Orders and other Marine Corps terminology! That ended real quick!!

All this sounds great, but... what does it means?

Being not english-speaker, I do not get it.

Any help will be appreciated

I'm not too an english speaker, but here is the only one I can make A SWAG at <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

CHARLIE FOXTROT (CF) : Cluster Fork (sp) !!!
(Sorry I could not resist...)

I too would be interested in knowing what the else mean, and would add "SNAFU" to the list <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Well, pilots will know that HOTEL SIERRA means "Hot Spit" - I didn't have the nerve, obviously.

Hey guys....the Milspeak is fine to discuss but, how's about getting back to the original question ?

When might the troops see v7.0 ?

Delta 3-2
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men are willing to do violence on their behalf."
-George Orwell

Yes, Yes.. when is v7 available?

SNAFU = Situation Normal, All F'cked Up
FUBAR = F'cked Up Beyond All Recognition
JAFO = Just Another F'cking Observer
SWAG = Scientific Wild A$$ Guess

Whats the over/under on v7 release? I say Sept 15th! Ready before 9/15 or after? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

We are hoping for Labor Day. (Give or take a week)
It will be released with the Lost Victories MC.

Thanks for the update.
BTW it's "SH*& Hot" "Sierra Hotel". <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Is it a moronic question to ask if MC Lost Victories will have version 7.0 included on the disk?

As it currently stands I havent the slightest idea what I will request for christmas this year. (yes I said christmas).
I held off buying the first MC disk because I am the sort that never buys the first version of anything really.

But maybe I will indulge myself this time. Combine getting a burned copy of 7.0 and enjoy he fruits of all Matrixs learning on the first cd.

One last question though. How will a person handle the purchase sans credit card? I dont own one now nor will one be allowed in my future (evil things anyway).

Can anyone give me the particulars to handle a cash deal for a Canadian in Ontario (please include all conversions, postage, handling, cross border concerns as I hate surprises).

Yes it will have v7.

There is a 1-800 number you can call to order and use MO or electronically certified personal check to pay. Check the store website for details.

Les, I refuse to get another credit card after I paid off mine, and cut them up. But I did get a debit card. That way I spend only the money that I have in the account. Just like an ATM card that I use to pay some bills and for some online and store purchases. I figured you know about them, but thought I'd put my two cents in anyway.
