[Tarkus]

Could he be releasing the new RHW?

Hehe . . . not quite yet.  But soon.

And Merry Christmas to everyone--and have a happy RHW Day, once it arrives.

well whenever that day is. I can't wait

[A200]

Anyone willing to bet $10 that it's Boxing Day? 

[Korot]

When is Boxing Day?

[Patricius Maximus]

December 26.

[Toichus Maximus]

That's right release it when I have no internet because I'm at my grandmas... murphy's law

You have officially changed the release date to not be Boxing Day.

When is Boxing Day?

What I've heard is that Boxing Day is the traditional day for the servants and other such members of the lower orders of British society to receive their gifts in rather drab boxes, hence Boxing Day. But since I'm not british and I've never lived in Britain, I'm not entirely sure - if you haven't noticed, we don't celebrate Boxing Day in the US. WRONG.

Wikipedia sez: "Boxing Day, December 26th, is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia (excluding South Australia), Canada, New Zealand and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. It is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society. Contemporary Boxing Day in many countries is now a "shopping holiday" associated with after-Christmas sales."

Note that the day I've been thinking of to be RHW day, which I haven't visibly posted here, has not arrived yet.

RE: Tarkus' post below: Well, of course you have an idea...

[Tarkus]

I have a guess, too.

Oh is that what boxing day is? I thought it was punch, punch, punch, ding, ding. Anyway, I bet its not this year for the RHW day. Seriously though, everything seems to be in working order.

[A200]

Actually January 1st, 2009 would do me fine.

My internet is waaaaaaay too slow at the moment, if the RHW 3.0 was released today (Dec 26) or tomorrow I wouldn't be able to download it (we used up all our download quota so it's at dialup speed  ).

Boxing day in Canada just means massive sales on all the stuff they couldn't push out the door before Christmas.

[Sartoris]

I have a guess, too.

-Alex (Tarkus)

Well those without RHW 3.0 are less fortunate members of society...

Boxing day in Canada just means massive sales on all the stuff they couldn't push out the door before Christmas.

We have those sales in the US, too - we just don't call it Boxing Day.
