Ah, that's good news, Dave!!
Surely you wouldn't have taken that step unless you reasonably expected to release the update within the next week or two. And I'd guess you wouldn't have taken the time to write it up unless the "heavy lifting" was finished and you were just waiting for the final beta tester results to trickle in.
BTW, what's the best day of the week to generate the most coverage (and resulting reader viewings) on the Mac-related web sites?
Apple seems to release a lot of stuff on Tuesdays so I guess their PR research has shown that day of the week works best for them. But they are more concerned with national media coverage; thus for instance, probably wouldn't release anything on Super Tuesday ( 5 Feb)...Presidential Primary voting day in the U.S.
Since SuperDuper plays to a smaller audience, I'm curious if you've determined there's a better day. Of course, releasing on a weekend might help to spread out the server load which is apparently about maxed out since you had to turn off the blog comments.
Or do you just release it on the day it's finished without taking any external factors into account?
