N4 Release Date.....

Do you really think that N4 will be 6 more months before release? I mean, looking at the screenshots and such...it seems they are pretty far along with the process. I would think 3 or 4 months....but only 6 if they want a Christmas bonus if you know what I mean. I realize they need to do testing, get licences and such...but good grief....if you think about it they have been designing this product for a couple of years already. This was supposed to be the Nascar Racing 3 remember? Just curious...maybe somebody who has a clue and clue me in on what really goes on from this point on.... Thanks... Lee

Lots and Lots of testing. We also do not know how far along they are on the tracks. Maybe they still have alot of the tracks to design. "Lee Mills" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I hope they take the whole 6 months and put out a top quality non buggy program. Although I also would like a slightly buggy beta to screw around with too! heheheh. Vintook "Lee Mills" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I wouldn't care if it took another year if it's DONE. I'd much, much rather wait for a completed program that works like it's supposed to than have a frustrating, rushed-out-the-door dissapointment.

Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean it is. If they say 6 months then it will probably be 12 months.

Again, they have been working on this product for over 2 years already. Lee On Wed, 10 May 2000 20:26:31 GMT, Speedy Fast <[email hidden]> wrote:

And no, I never have. I'm an airline pilot not a computer geek. :-) Lee On Thu, 11 May 2000 20:05:44 GMT, [email hidden] (Lee Mills) wrote:

Usually the cause is a misunderstanding of the software industry.
