By having everyone call an 800 to order 3.0b update Lotus can get a more
accurate list of "current" AmiPro/OS2 users, than by making it available via
"anonymous" ftp, BBS's, etc.  Perhaps it can help set the priority of their
workload better if they knew "There really ARE THAT MANY OS/2 users?".

I don't know if this was their motivation, but it could explain it.  As for
me, I'll call it in.  My copy of 3.0a is sitting on "the window sill" waiting
to ripen....I use "IBM Works for OS/2" in the meantime. :-)
