Adam,
Thanks for your attempt to clear things up, BUT the term "go Gold"
doesn't mean anything to most folks. Further you are talking about the
period from 02 DEC thru 16 DEC and then "guessing" it will be on
someones shelves during that period because it "Usually" takes about two
weeks.
What most of us are interested in is, when to expect the mail order
copies we bought from Sierra on the same day we received the offer in
the mail. If I see the program at Babbages, Egghead, CompUSA, or Joe's
Software, before the "upgrade" mail orders are filled, I have bought my
last Sierra product! We all love Papy, but Sierra has that
reputation.....
It is vague forecasts that spawn rumors. From your post all I know is
that I should be able to go to town and buy Nascar II before Christmas.
After all three weeks is "about" two weeks. And then if I wait for my
mail order copy, I could be getting into the Christmas mail crunch which
means receiving the sim during that little window between Christmas and
New Years. Perhaps those who didn't respond to the mailer early are
looking at January delivery.
I appreciate your effort, but don't criticize the rumon mongers when all
you really do is fuel the rumor mill. How about some REAL info?
respectfully,
ra
