You're right John, sorry. Can't imagine why I expected a '200 page printed manual' to have been delivered over two months after it went on sale!

I must have misunderstood the "Please allow up to 28 days for your CD and Manual to arrive" bit because I got the email on 18 November to say the CDs were about 10 working days + a week away (I think that was last Thursday actually) but there was no mention of the manuals except Anthony's near-boasting that they're not ready yet. I've done plenty of tech writing thanks, mine is usually done on time - but I don't have the Xara gig.
