When HT said online Monday "A few days", that  means to me, more  than 5 days, less  than 2 weeks.  My arm is not tingling, so I can tell ya straight up that it won't be this week.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Now, Rip...

A "few" may be described as "a small number". I'm rather encouraged by the fact that it was uttered on Monday. Couple this with the date of the last release and I will go out on a limb and say today.

Thursdays work better for release than Fridays because it gives you another working day to make any emergency fixes that might be necessary.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

3:30 PM today!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

If I remember correctly, Thursday was always the release day back in the old ICI days.  But maybe it's just wishfull thinking.

 Pyro, HT, it is the TAX time here in USA! Most people will not be able to play the new 1.02 version anyway until April 15th. So no reason to rush with it. Rather, take your time and make sure it is clean and bug free.
 If you still have time before 15th, go once more over your own taxes.

If my game play were tax dependant.. I wouldn't be playing AH for about 6 years based solely on this year's results.

Hmmm, let's see...the check i sent to uncle sam for last year to square things up would pay for 204 months or so of AH...hoping this year doesn't take me into next century  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

My account says if i'm paying taxes I'm making money...now I remember why I hate my accountant. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

ROTFLOL SAW!  NO!~  That's my "baby arm", it only tingles  when the great snake charmer Laura  charms it out  of  the Cotton cave.
