Well, I never expected it to be anything, so I wasn't that disappointed. Actually, to be precise I was already disappointed before the announcement. It's like the milkman promising something extra special for weeks and weeks, and then turning up with another pit of skimmed. :?
Has there been any announcement of the format in which they will re-release the back catalogue? If not PDF, my worry is that it will be some apple-like deviltry involving subscriptions, so you never actually "own" the book, you're just renting it. The other thing I wonder about is whether they will just re-use the old (not ery good) scans or produce some new, high-quality ones instead. The latter seems unlikely from a financial viewpoint. I'd prefer even the old scans over "some other electronic format", though.
It'd be nice if they released all the old editions - the pastel cover modules, Holmes B2, that sort of thing ... 8)
