Well, if you checked this newsgroup in between calls to Sierra, you'd
know that the patch exists.  It is going through testing.  We hope to
have it online next week.

I know... I'vw known about the patch through you and Rick for a LONG time now..
But up until last week or so, Sierra kept on saying, "Patch, what patch??  
There's no patch for IndyCar Racing II. I don't know what you're talking about."

Ed,
Don't you guys ever learn.... thats what Rick said a week and a half
ago and coped a backhanded swipe from Sierra On-Line and created a
feeling of dismay amoung this group and now you have gone and set
yourself up for the fall. Don't tell me there is a spare position at
5D Games !!!!!

The reason the Sierra techs didn't know about the patch is that the Indy II
team _at Papyrus_ failed to communicate with Sierra, and underestimated the
work to release a patch.  The Sierra tech people have done their jobs, but
they were not kept informed.

Sorry, but the guys at Sierra deserve a few apologies.

Papy and Sierra have set up an intranet recently, and people are getting to
know who's who, so I believe there will be better coordination between Papy
and Sierra's tech support in the future.

As for poor product estimates and premature or errant announcements, I
suspect that will continue to plague mankind well into the next century.

Atta boy, Charlie.  Finally, somebody able to admit that there was a problem,
and take some responsibility for it.  Congratulations for being human, and an
employee of a large corporation (been there, done that!).
