After the LiveCD is finalized, we'll send it all off to the folks who
are pressing and shipping the CDs. That will probably be early next
week. I've already finalized the database for the first shipment which
includes everyone who gave full shipping information (I have been and
will continue to email people who did not) as of 2 days ago.

We're pressing a lot of CDs so i could be anywhere from 2-4 weeks to
perhaps twice that long until they start showing up on people's door
depending on the speed of the local mail and when you ordered (it
should be roughly first ordered, first shipped).

If you didn't make the first shipment, because either you were too
late or because you didn't get complete information on time, you'll be
able to get in on a second shipment that should follow relatively
soon. I'll post more information on this in the next week or two.

Regards,
Mako
