Given the amount of people he sounds like he pissed off for selling out a jackpointer (who was that guy, by the way, and what happend afterwards?), I would change days to hours.
That was Netcat. He sold her out to NeoNET during the Emergence arc. However, she escaped, and let Jackpoint know about it, hence Clockwork being treated worse than pond scum.

I agree with CanRay. The only reason no one's killed Clockwork yet is because Fastjack enforces a certain level of detente on his boards. Clockwork, on the other hand, likely understands that the moment he actually nabs Netcat (or worse, her kid), his days will be numbered.

See, if *I* was Clockwork, I'd use that to my advantage ... and have Slamm-0! taken out first.

NOBODY would see it coming, he could play it off since "Not a techno-freak, no bounty, not my thing." but be quietly snickering the entire time.

So folks have this book in their hands (con copies, I presume)? So without asking for a release date, any rough idea when others will be able to buy it?

I got mine a week ago. Don't know when it'll show up in your FLGS, but that's why there's Amazon and other such places.

Actually, I think he's trying to improve his rep with JackPoint by helping out.

Shocking, I know, but most of those Tech PDFs are either fully or partially written by him, and he even went out of his way to educate Slamm-0! on all his failures and faults as a Shadowrunner.  (Admittedly in a "Matrix troll"-like manner, and then lost his nut when Slamm-0! didn't rise to the occasion, but still helpful.  Of course, you can't out-troll Slamm-0!.  He's a master of it second only to his knowledge of baseball!).

Really? Thought it said somewhere that she had a girl...

Ah well! It's fixed now anyways.

I've been giving my DTF book business to a particular FLGS because of local competition issues, and when he looked for one the system said it hadn't been released yet so I pre-ordered one with him. This was the Wednesday past (Nov 14th)?

I just got this book yesterday and I have to say that it is full of awesome.

But... Why oh why have they not released the pdf yet?  It's so much easier carrying my SR4 collection on my phone. :P
It's a physical collection of gear from PDF only products, there wont be any PDF of it.
I've been told there are vehicles and weapons that are in this book and not in the PDF versions. Are you sure this book doesn't contain additional gear not listed in the PDFs? Example vehicle is the Shiawase Motors Shuriken (motorcycle) which I'm told is only in the Runner's Black Book but when I look through the PDFs I have (MilTech Spec 1 and 2; Deadly Waves; This Old Drone, Unfriendly Skies, Used Car Lot and Gun Heaven 1 and 2) this particular vehicle is not listed. Or am I missing a PDF I'm not aware of?
No it does contain new stuff, it's their attempt to get people who allready have the PDF:s to buy the physical collection book too.
But the best part is, it doesn't contain all the content from Eurowar Antiques, so this time even the physical copy buyer gets crewed over.

My FLGS here in the UK had it at the end of September...
