- You should know by now that no matter what's happening this dates have
- nothing to do with the dates the games will actually be released. They will
- appear in the stores when you least expect it. Or maybe it only means the eventually make it for Christmas '93.
-
- BTW, I highly recommend that you read the third installment of the Hitchhiker
- trilogy if you haven't done so yet. There's a chapter where DNA explains
- the fundamental number theory behind the the Bistro-Mathic drive. Now there
- is some resemblance to software industry's release dates.
