Charlie Lear asks: > Now, who exactly does Lotus consider to be a "legitimate business user"? Pretty much anybody, apparently. Today's mail brought a flier advertising "Businessland Direct, the CD-ROM desktop marketing kit," complete with Lotus Marketplace ($599 alone) and the NEC Intersect CD-Rom player for a combined price of $1,149. Nothing in the flier says "if you're not a business we won't take your money." If somebody will send me the $599, I'll be glad to try the experiment of sending in an order in the name of "A. Slimy Jerk." Just make your check out to me personally...after all, why shouldn't you trust me as much as you do Lotus? George W. Mulford
