<big snip>

Wonderful! Now if only I can buy the darn thing! I'm sure it's not your
fault, but we folks on the wrong side of the pond have been waiting... and
waiting... and...  OK, I'll try to be patient until the 15th. <grin>

More seriously, is the upcoming North American release the same version as
the European? That is, will this patch work with it or do we have to wait
for a NA version?
