Well, I have heard that the dates have slipped several times due to bugs that
have been found during testing.  Like Mike said, the original date was     
mid-October, then they said January '88, then that passed,  then they said 
mid-March....Now, it is looking like late April.....  Hang in there folks!
Richard Garriott is no slouch and has always seemed to astound the Apple world 
with his incredibly life-like games.  This one should be quite a bit better 
with 6 to 8 sides (Last I heard it was 6 but they were pushing limits), 
uses double Hi-res graphics (sorry II+ and Franklin users, you are outta luck
on this one...get a //e!), and is supposed to be the most real Ultima yet.....
