I "own" Turbo C Professional at work (I got the full upgrade from 1.5)
and I own 1.5 at home. I've recieved two upgrade offers: For work
they offered it to me for $125 plus s&h and tax, Home they offered it to me
for $149.... Since I am going to be moving our product to OS/2 (hence no need
for Turbo C) I am going to "borrow" the upgrade coupon for home...
