#3DSr2 is on schedule!
Last week, I promised that I'd post the status of the 3DSr2 release
schedule. Good news… TODAY, the Autodesk software quality assurance
people have released the 3.5" and 5.25" floppy versions (8 disks each) to
the production department. This means that there are zero KNOWN problems
with the program or sample files. (I know, it's software, and I'm sure
that our intrepid users will find SOMETHING wacky, but it ain't gonna be
easy!)
I can't describe how good this would feel if I had any feelings left.
Plus, the "3DSr2 Bulletin" update for dealers and registered users
regarding the upgrade program is going to mailed out FIRST CLASS tomorrow,
Tuesday 3/24. If any of you folks on the forum who are registered users
don't get their bulletins by 3/30-3/31, contact your dealer and/or Autodesk
customer service.
If all goes well with the myriad of other components in the package, like
the 3 manuals, CD-ROM, etc, we expect to start ramping up to ship "live"
copies this Friday, 3/27. By next Monday, the loading dock ought to be
flowing with this stuff. (It'll be fun to show up at the Bay Area 3DS
users group meeting this Saturday in Sausalito with a shrinkwrapped package
to rip up.)
