OK..I agree Friday is not wise.
Let's see who is the most intuitive...

I say Monday morning the 21st  at 1:00a.m.

Yeah...

that's what I was thinking... and hoping I was wrong... <sigh>

Let's hope for some of those ol' Bakers' Surprises that they didn't tell us so we get to be in awe of their work... which we are anyway (even tho I gripe about changes I don't like)... ;-)

If you are wanting X1b to be more like 8.5.3, I predict you will be disappointed.  I don't think that's going to happen.

Hi Dave... Nice new Avatar pic...

Sure I'd love it to be more in line with some of the features of 8.5.3.... But I'm not expecting it to ever be that again... All I really care about are a few issues... The rest are things I can live with... My main issues? Snap! Smart Tool! Envelopes! these three things need serious attention as they are the cause of 90% of my issues with X1... Snap needs two settings (Thanks Ben)... Smart Tool needs a mode where it can locate as well as select in a single click.... Too much constant extra clicks and mouse niggling.... Envelopes! An extra mode/choice from the Edit Filter that simply makes ALL available at once... Again switching back and forth is too click costly...

These items won't make X1 into 8.5.3, but it will allow me to work much faster than this current system allows... the supposed benefits of these changes are not things that everyone needs/wants and should be added to the program not replacing tools that people want and we already had!

But not to derail this thread... I'm glad that they're not opening any new issues this close to release, but I was hoping they were still finishing some solutions for these issues as well as others I thought important... and they still may as they've always had some unannounced surprises in every release... yes?

I think Cake's release date will be Friday the 18th..probably a big after-work party planned for the bakers. We get to spend the weekend downloading and installing.

Good timing since Scott's SONAR POWER X1 is shipping from Amazon.

Releasing right before the week-end with no one in the office manning the phones is a recipe for disaster.

One that has been used too many times... But I guess they LIKE it! ;-)

Good One!

Too bad if we get rid of Mondays, Tuesday becomes Monday!

If we get rid of week-ends, the whole start of the week issue goes away, no? ;-)

This is like negotiating with God. We'll get what we get and say thanks, for at least the first few hours. Just like God.

Strikethrough in the forum does not work, at least with Chrome 10 on Win 7.  Totally killed my joke.

It's something with Chrome ... doesn't work here either. It's also harder to reply with quotes in Chrome. I switched back to Firefox because there's no security app's for Chrome that I could find, the strikeout, reply with quotes .... etc.

I'm predicting March 21st for X1b's release. It's a Monday and it's the first day of spring if I'm not mistaken. Symbolic of a new beginning?

April 1st is my guess.

Yea Keni, you need to download the latest drivers for you video card and update your BIOS before you can see the whole list. Good luck.

Got 'em! I'm ready!!!

That was probably the first thing you did after buying X1 huh?

Close.... first thing I did was look into buying a funeral site.... ;-)
