ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins Sorry guys, we have tried it both ways. For important releases, if the physical copy is not available at release we get a lot of flak directed at us from the customer base. I realize that most of you posting here just want the download version ASAP. However, from past experience, once you have the download and later start hearing how beautiful the 330 page color manual is, you'll be asking us if there's any way to retroactively "upgrade" your purchase, etc. It adds to our support load and makes for enough unhappy customers that we really prefer the synchronized releases when possible. Besides, AE is not gold (yet) so at this point neither version is ready. Keep in mind also that this does have limits, so we're not going to delay the release indefinitely if the printer keeps exceeding our deadlines. Regards, - Erik As always Erik, thank you. We know that the Matrix team did their best, but you can control the actions of a contractor. Thanks for all the efforts that you and your team have made, and most of all , thank you for keeping us informed. It's not easy giving bad news, and we appreciate you braving a few unpleasant comments to keep the rest of us in the loop. Many thanks, and Bravo Zulu!
