Theoretically, yes! You could also watch for my special little offer to forum folks only, coming later tonight.

I really don't know how many people will show up to get these, how long they will last, etc. I've only ever sold 5,000 deck projects and pre-sold a large number over days or weeks of time. Zenith is new territory for me as well!

Ok, with me it'll be an easy transaction. I'll check back later on.

FYI, if/when the first batch sells out, I will make the rest available at a time good for people in Europe and Asia. Just trying to be fair for everyone!

I don't know what you mean by good time for people in Europe, but 12pm EST is 4pm GMT which is good enough for me!

:) I have many loyal customers in Asia, and don't want them to have to stay up insanely late just to get a deck. I'd like to aim for mid-day for those folks as well. So splitting it into two batches seemed to make sense to me and give folks the most options.

EDT is Eastern Daylight Time. Or are you referring to something else?

Yeah, but I think us here on the forums get a special time tonight to go.

Appears to be so. I only looked at the current page, reading back now.

I removed my post because it might be confusing and I was late to the party.

Hang out with us, Shermaine! It appears that Paul is going to give us a jump start on them in a couple of hours (or less?) - if I am reading things right, and I am fairly certain that I am...

10:30 in the morning in Guam, right?

My heart skipped a beat for a sec when reloading the zenith page. It looked like I could buy it. They'll go for $20 a piece by the looks of it.

I think you could be right, I caught it for an instant before it jumped to the "sold out" phase.

Just guessing, but I'm thinking Paul will post a special link to another page for us. We'll see.

I'm half-tempted to go to a library or something and just commandeer a couple of computers so that one will get in on time :mrgreen:

Well, I've been wrong before, but I don't think that will work. Paul is online here and I think when he's ready he'll post a custom link to the pre-pre-sale.

As you know, there are very few Zenith to go around. I am setting aside 100 for you guys to grab first. Here is what you have to do:

Visit http://encarded.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, click the "All" navigation link at the top of the site. Find the oddball "Forum Access" product with no picture, and do your thing! There is a limit of 4 per person, just as with the public release. I'll be fulfilling these orders first, so you will be the first to get Zenith!

Thanks again to all of you for the support, it is always a pleasure bringing new ideas to you folks.
