Keith,
It is not as great a deal as you think. Distances in the
States are on the large side. Going from New York City to San
Francisco (east to west) is a 43 hour drive and covers 2,909 miles.
Going from New Orleans to Minneapolis (south to north) is an 18 hour
drive and covers 1,200 miles. So, "attending the NGS in the States"
is not always just a small, simple trip.
In 1992, we moved from Denver to Knoxville, a trip of 1,350
miles. This summer we are moving 730 miles to our north.
Yesterday, we drove from Chicago to home for a distance of
446 miles. On Tuesday, we drove the same distance to get to Chicago.
It took us eight hours each way.
In the end, most of us in the States are penalized just as you are.

So, based on the Legacy News I just received there will be no release of
Legacy v7 to the general public this week.
Seems that anyone attending NGS in the States will be allowed to get a
pre-release at the show.
I find this a little annoying (to say the least). Not that Legacy isn't
going to be available just yet, but that being in the UK it is simply not
practical to ever attend such a show, which makes me feel penalised somehow.
This is also all the more annoying since there was no Legacy representation
at the UK's largest calendar event, with similar opportunity.
