SW2009 DVD's Arrived Yet?
(OP)
Has anyone received there SW 09 DVD's yet? I only ask because if IT gets ahold of my DVD's I will never see them so what to keep an eye out for them.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

The other issue I have is the temp license file expires in 8 days and I have not heard anything about when I will get our ligitimate license file. All the users keep emailing me about the license expiring, because of the stupid dialog box that pops up.

"Do we see the problem now? That hasn't been my address for three years." "Yes, I'm not sure why we have that address in there." "Nor am I. Can we permanently kill it, so it never happens again? Like not next year? Again?" "We don't show any record of that address in our database, so I'm not sure where it came from." "It came from last year, when it was wrong then, too."
This year, I pre-called, and they read back our current address (yay). In the many years we've had a seat of SolidWorks, it's been sent to the correct address twice. Perhaps they should jettison the hidden address databases and stick with a single one? That way when I watch a one-minute-tip video at the SW web site I don't get calls from other VARs asking me if we'd be interested in SolidWorks. Dumb. [/rant]

The downloads are sometimes (not often) corrupt.
It takes way too long to download the full package even if you have a fairly fast connection. Some people only have DSL or even dial-up.
My connection at home is 4x faster than my works connection. A higher speed connection simply is not available at its location.

It's normal for a home connection to be far faster than a business connection. They're set up that way intentionally by the ISP. Home connections are geared towards download as that's what most people do at home. Business connections are set up normally with equal download and upload speeds.
Yet my question still remains. Why does it matter how long it takes to download? Start it and put it in the background and keep working, or start it at night before you leave and it will be there in the morning. We're comfortable waiting days for a DVD to reach its destination but we're not willing to wait a few hours for a download?

Has anyone found the PhotoView 360 available as a download?

That is great news. Since I received the DVD I haven't gone back to look at the download.
PhotoView 360 looks like a nice fill of the gap of not using PhotoWorks and spending a lot of time to use PhotoWorks.

My home line is faster because I pay for the faster connection. My first connection was dial-up and ridiculously slow (~2KB/s), so when DSL became available in my area I paid for the upgrade to ~60KB/s. The ISP then upgraded the line to give me ~125KB/s. Since then I have paid to upgrade again to a higher package and now get ~500KB/s.
Where I work, a high speed DSL connection is simply not available. Most we can get is ~125KB/s. We were actually paying for a 500KB/s line for quite a while and when we questioned why we weren't getting that, a search at the ISP end found that we are too far from the nearest connection point (or whatever the correct term is).

It took me 2 years to get my shipping address and phone number corrected (SW & VAR), then my subscription stopped.

Turned out the majority said "web", and he was under the impression that SWx was going to get rid of all "hard" media starting in 2009.
Given a high speed connection, web makes the most sense to me. It will always beat hard copies tracking through shipping.
