Provided that www.divsys.com is a real user, which I'm sure they are, I'd say that this proves once and for all that this is not a hoax. Why didn't we ever think of production issues when we were wondering why not all teams had gotten them?!?!? [smacks self on forehead]

EDIT: Bill Moore sent me a message with a very good point that Diversified Systems is based in Indiana, and Joe got his from NH. My idea/response is this (and I quote, from my PM): "Only thing I can think of- divsys is sending them on to FIRST HQ, who packages them and then sends them out to teams, in accordance with who has already paid??? Saves giving divsys the team list and complicating things for them."

Seriously. Knowing the GDC (or specifically, Dave...)

Funny you should say that, Libby- I was thinking the same thing in engineering today. Has anyone ever looked to see if the game hints relate to the next year's game, or something crazy like that? I mean, if Dave's on it, you really never can tell...
