I received MacWrite II with the Mac SE/30 that I bought in March of
1991.  Last time I checked (September of 1991), Claris told me that I
would be getting a free upgrade to MacWrite Pro.

If Claris actually sticks to their upgrade promises, they're going to
give away more copies of MW Pro than they'll sell...
