interesting observation. Maybe they will announce the release tomorrow at Siggraph and put it on sale on 8/5 or 8/10.  Now wouldn't that be cool :)

still the question remains...will it run on my old AMD 64/3200+ 1.5gig ram computer ?

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
