Evolution Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I can't believe they're actually mailing us a copy :) Wouldn't it be far less expensive to simply provide a download link? I can't believe I have to wait 4-6 weeks for it, but at least it's free and I'll get a CD cover :D I didn't mind watching the videos :) The last VB version I've used was 6.0, so it was a welcomed refresher. hmmm did anyone notice that the shipping info email address had a startrek domain and not a microsoft one :p ?
