In regards to earnings coming up, I wanted to note that I had pre-ordered M1 Tank Platoon II and it was not billed/shipped until April 3rd (after the end of the quarter). I figured that either, Microprose had met their minimal objectives for last quarter and were pushing additional revenue into the next quarter, or, since they already announced a loss for the quarter, they pushed every dime they could into the next quarter. With M1 and Ultim@te shipping so late in the quarter, it will be interesting to see which quarter they credit the revenue to. John P.S. I was fairly annoyed that I would have been able to buy M1 Tank Platoon II a week earlier had I NOT pre-ordered from Microprose.
