The discounts apply for *orders* submitted before Dec 31, not *services*.  For
example, if you order a developer package with a start date of Dec 31, you pay
the reduced price for the entire 6 month package.  For resource-based billing,
however, (ie pay by-the-cpuhour as you go), the rate goes up Jan 1.

Anyone doing research is eligible.  I believe we're up to 20 customers now..

Any questions, please feel free to post.  I've redirected followups to bc.rcbc.
