If it is possible I will get it running in my current 60/3 tourney. This assumes I can get it within a week or so. Typically here I would pick up something like CM at EB http://www.ebworld.com/ebx/default.asp where it says it is available as a new release today !!. I'll phone the local store and see if/when they will have it. Sarah.
