I'm an old rocker, but the noise metal is a little too noisy for me. I've thought about doing a noise metal / bang fest type of thing just to see if I could do it, but haven't yet. Bands are fun, but they're a helluva lot of work if you do it right.
I kind of think the same thing, Sam got behind and is having trouble catching up. Seems like the biggest problem for us has been the multiple deadlines, because it's really only been about 6 weeks since it was supposed to even ship. Just seems like a long time because we've been waiting for each of those deadlines, but not so long really. I've been waiting for months (many of them) for any official word from TGC about an FPSC fix/upgrade. Besides the line in the monthly newsletter.
I've heard different things about what came on the disk, but I'm still not sure what it was. Is it a downloader that installs from the program from the net, or the whole program that just can't be installed without activation from the net? I know Oolite said the media itself would be a download, but I don't know about the "extra" software - Model Pro, etc.
Maybe one of these days soon we'll all be Quiklying away wondering what all the fuss was about. If Sam did get behind, I wouldn't mind if he came on and said he had problems and it will be a little longer, just to know it's getting there. Meantime, I'm back to working on Torque stuff, and checking in here once a week or so.
