For the Canadians who have been waiting for X...

[Bullines]

...surprise!

[Philcott]

I am looking forward to trying out the new software but I am a bit concerned that there seems to be a lot of "issues" with it. I am not too concerned with having to learn what buttons to push but with the "that will be fixed in SP1" things.

 

That said, bring it on and lets get going with the next learning adventure.

 

How is it that some shops in Alberta already have X?

Has it taken you guys this long to put in all the "EH?"'s and "ZED"'s ????

Phil,

 

Since we are the massive country that we are, in order to get X out to people on the same day across the entire nation, we have to ship it out to dealers before the release. The dealers are free to install it whenever they want as long as it was following the official date of August 15 that CNC Software set. We gave a "buffer" of a couple of weeks so that dealers were all ready. Any installs in Canada prior to today could be considered "test" installs, which dealers did at their own discretion.

James,

 

Actually, we remove the twang and handguns from X to prep for the Canadian release. Then we cover the boxes with maple syrup (the real stuff..not that Aunt Jemima crap) and include a complimentary beer with actual alcohol content in it. Only then is X truly ready for Canadians

[Philcott]

James,

 

Don't you have any work to do???

How did CNC get around the Molson people with the name X?

 

Molson eXport has been around for generations.

Snail-mail?

[Bullines]

Our shipping/receiving department told me that we're shipping X to Ontario customers via UPS.

[Matthew]

I received my codes today (email), but not X. Hopefully it doesn't come tomorrow, becuase I won't be there! Extra long long weekend!

[TWK]

Ya, email codes today, eager eager beaver....

Talked to IHS this moring and was told the best ETA they could give me was a couple of days.

Hm, thinkin (hoping) Monday.

And for Camguy: .... Seventh day god created man....

and on the Eighth day, man created Mastercam...

Also I think if they released MC X in Canada first, then the Americans would've invaded us.

In Canadian schools, we are taught to count by 2's, 5's 10's and 24's. Comes in handy when counting emptys to see if you drank enough on the weekend to refund for a free case of beer.
