Christal, I always get confused about Autodesk's definitition of 'quarters'. What does " …will start shipping in the third quarter of 1993" mean? between 1st July and September 30th? … or does Autodesk have different 'quarters'? also what constitutes 'shipping' in Autodesk terms, shipping to developers? to dealers? or to end users? finally … I am based in the United Kingdom. I know that your press releases apply *only* to North America. No announcement has been made here in the UK yet. Based on past experience of Autodesk releases here, I would guess shipping in the UK will follow about 6 weeks after *actual* shipping to end users in North America. Would that be a good basis for guessing shipping date here in the UK this time?
