It will take a while to download, it may take you longer because you're not in the glorious land of America, where downloads roam beneath the spacious skies, through amber waves of grain, over majestic purple mountains and above the fruited plain... Whatever that means.

But once you've got it all set up, CE is a lot of fun and is well worth the wait. Have patience, little one!
