The later net postings by the Mindscape rep made it clear the first version released would be Win95 only. >Oh yes -- they forgot to include a key for checking your six o'clock!

I have not tried the released version.

Some lucky guys in UK have it already and we will make our way all the way up to Stockholm (Sweden) on friday to get it fresh from the custom ;-)... Here is what he wrote on C$S today... >Hi folks, > >Thanks to a terrific special offer to ELO! subscribers, >I now have my hands on one of the very first copies of EF2000!!! >And just like the special offer, it looks pretty neat. >Now I have another mammoth manual to read (this one is 286 pages!) > >Mike.
