O.k. - So let's say I announce a release several days before it really is released, then it is released, then it is available and then it can be shipped and about three weeks to a month lapse before I get it. All this PROVIDED that Mandrake really did release it just a few days after I announced it, and not a couple of weeks later. The truth is this company posted that it was released on their website prior to it actually being released on the hope and.or desire that it would be released on some time table that wouldn't cause them or their customers any grief. In some places this is illegal. I know the credit card companies take a dim view of such "business practices". Especially when a company does not clearly state an expected release date and instead says that it has been released. This firm, btw, uses paypal and credit cards. Bob Finch
