Registrations are processed into a queue automatically upon receipt. We never lose a registration, so there's no need to worry that you'll lose your place.

The delay is with the response system which generates the confirmation. Since upgrading to Office 2000 the MS Outlook to Access link utility has totally broken, and I haven't had time to fix up an alternative. I had a look at it today, and with a bit of luck I hope to pursuade it to play ball on Monday.

In any case I think it likely that the registration page will be dropped from the new site - we'll publish shipping estimates and set the system up to only accept orders when we are in a position to fill them. Of course the existing queue will be honoured ahead of new orders.

PS. Linux zealots - yes, MS Office has it's flaws, but I spent two years writing financial analysis software in Access and I'm stuck in my ways.
