Stephan, You *know* I did....and many are still open. And the one
closed regarding the repair issue on the ISO on the release was closed
with a rather expedient 'we'll release a patch' rather than 'oops, let's
replace the iso before too many people have downloaded it and it
spreads'. I thought the delays in delivering the boxed sets might be
because the paying customers at least, might be getting the benefit of a
corrected set of install DVDs, but from what I can tell, that didn't
happen either. Shame!
