John,
I wasn't worried about them defaulting, but with the time delay and knowing the retail version was about to be released I began to wonder if that was holding all shipments. As it turns out I got a shipment notice yesterday. Unfortunately we just left town for a couple of weeks but it will be nice to return home to.
I'm running 2006 now and until recently didn't have time to play with it much. The more you get involved with it the more you realize the depth and capabilities of the program to say nothing about the dedication of all the contributors. I spent my professional life in IT so I have appreciation for the effort of everyone involved.
Thanks again for your responses. The forum is another part of the positive experience.
Stay warm!
Bob
