I called earlier today and spoke to a very nice man.  He took my 
name/number and asked for the serial number off the box (which 
fortunately I had, it does seem pretty stupid to only print it on the 
box.  How about in the software somewhere...)  I was never told of a 
charge, and since they got no CC info they can't charge me one.  I was 
also told 2-3 days shipping UPS.  Don't know if any of this is correct, 
just reporting what happened to me...
