With the word going out that The Word (4.0) is going out this week, I've got
a question: what about upgrades?

Many, many months ago, I got a note from Microsoft about an offer to upgrade
to Word 4.0 for (I think) $50.  Didn't have to send in any money then, but
just a signature that I would buy it.  (Just think of how many people who
signed that agreement have died since then!  Or become senile...)  Sounded
good to me, and I signed the thing and sent it in.  Since then, I've gotten
two notes that the release has been delayed, but that my name was in the
bucket.

OK, I can live with all this, I use another imperfect WP (FullWrite) and I
don't worry much.  And now I hear that 4.0 is shipping this week -- to
various retail sites.  Hey, what about us people who've been waiting around
for upgrades?  How come we don't get Word 4.0 first, or at least
concurrently?

Huh?  [Insert belligerent snort here]
