Well let me tell you a little story... about some very good girls and boys.
Santa delivered them a gift... and the response was amazing.
Santa heard (and read) all your replies, and promises of being good, ect...
Santa has decided to make a second run.
However next week is his annual big trip, so this is going to be the last run for a little while. Doesn't mean it will be the last run ever... just probably for 2006.
It also doesn't mean, Santa won't flip his national distribution network. He just wants to make sure that the gift fits and works as it is supposed to.
-------------------------------
So some of the same "warnings" from the other night.
Staggard rollouts are there for a reason... as much as they are confident about the release, they need to limit the impact of any unexpected issues.
However; If you are so incline and want to "take a risk" and force download the 0x10B software version... here is your opportunity.
As of this writing the version number is 0x10B; It may change before things happen
Tonight: 12/15/2006 between 11pm and 1:30am(EST); 8pm and 10:30pm (PST), you may be able to get the new 0x10B code by the 02468 method.
If you do attempt to get 0x10B; then you assume all the risks with the software version.
Here is what is changing so evaluate your decision to move from what ever version you are on now, to 0x10B. (I am not going to post formal release notes at this time).
I can not stress it enough: If you force download 0x10B, DO NOT CALL the call center if you are having problems. Come back here, and report the problem.
And if it is to the point that you can "live" with it, do another forced update to revert back to 0xFA, there is no going back to 0x104, 0x108, or any other version after 0xFA
