Den er faktisk helt dugfrisk. Jeg kan da lige inkludere den komplet, så der ikke
er nogen tvivl:

It definately is non-trivial, as we soon found out. Since the German
NLV sold top-numbers, we think it is only fair to deliver a 'full'
German release of eComStation. This means we have to do a lot of
translation work, building and testing of tracks.
All in all this whole process is taking a lot longer than we had thought,
apart from the mass of email/phonecalls to support and registration
issues. We hope all of our customers can understand this problem.
Of course, we should communicate these problems better and we try to
do so by sending out email status updates (three until now) to keep you
up to date. From now on we will post these to our website as well.
Now that I got your attention... If you ordered an UK or US version
of eComStation from Mensys and did not receive anything yet, please
logon to our online shop and confirm your shipping address! We have
a lot of customers that still need to take this final step, before
we can ship the GA release. This is the #1 problem currently.
An official statement wrt the German GA release is hard to give, but
we assume we will have it finished within 4 weeks, as stated by
Christian.

Thanks for the heads up, Kim.

It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,
than to open it, and remove all doubt.
