I actually think its great that the peopl in the US get it before the rest of us.
The way I think of it ... they can do all the hard work of testing things, and tell the rest of us what's what in the Seasons and we can just go in and avoid the things that we should avoid and/or don't work/are buggy.
Having said that ... I've got my Seasons Disk, just have to pick up my computer, and then wait for 5pm to load it and play it until 7pm
then go to the meeting, and then play it from 9pmish until midnightish.
Yeah, it looks like my computer will be running nice and easily again and very quickly. YAY for computer store people who actually LISTEN to the customer and do what they ask, instead of rushing in and doing a whole lot of other things.
