... are the Orkney Islands really part of the UK - or is this just wishful thinking on your part?

Hi Stuart

Although Norwegian up until about 500 -600 years ago we are definintly part of the UK. (although separated to the mainland by about 15 miles of particularly rough sea)

Is that a cricket ball as your avatar? Do they play cricket in Turkey?

Thank you Ben for you assurances about imminent 8.1 arrival.
- I'd better get posting to make it up to that magical number of 5 postings - Cheers for the info

It arrived in Belgium last week. So it can't be that far off from the UK 😉

Still no sign of 8.1 on my desk today, however there is problems with the UK Postal service, and I do live off the mainland so post can take a bit longer, but has anybody else in the UK got their 8.1 CD yet.

Also can anyone tell me if it runs on MacOS9?

I know, I know I should upgrade to 10.3, but our I.T section are a bunch of $@£*%! and are not letting us upgrade until they receive training in OSX ( not that they have ever done anything for us) anyway thats a whole new topic!

My condolences; I had to go and buy a new mouse myself, and when asking the IT for the refund, they started complaining why did I buy a Microsoft wireless, when there are perfectly good plastic Chinese mice around ... duh.

no sign yet . . .

i am told that the final release of 8.1 was the same build as the beta-test RC5, so if you have that there will be no difference when they do arrive . . .

It is the same build; however, the package is slightly different (I have both ...)

I spoke to my vendor today. It has been delayed apparently as some last minute bug was discovered (hope we are not going down that road again!).

Should arrive by the end of the month.

I had a phone call from my vendor on Fri afternoon to let me know that my 8.1 is in the mail.

I thought I would never say this, but, "Roll on Monday!"

I got mine on Friday.
Thanks to chris crawford at forth computers for getting it out so quick, so far i am fairly impressed, looks like a solid upgrade.

Hard to tall so far but I think it is a bit snappier, I'll wait till the polygon count rises.....

All i need now is that G5.

We will have to wait for a free download from Cigraph
