Ship-It

[Stephen Fox]

Funny thing about ShipIt is it varies in the time you recieve your CD's.
Here's a run down of the past releases:

1. Warty - took almost 3.5 months (12 weeks)
2. Hoary - took only about 1 month (4 - 5 weeks)

I placed an order for Breezy, but seeing how the release is still in PREVIEW
mode, I will not expect it to ship until Breezy goes gold anyway (Mid
October I believe they said was the expected release).
