When I called Wolfram Research, via their normal phone number, non 1-800-  
I got the run around quite a bit.  I then finally got to some one in the  
correct department. (which I'm not sure what it was)  They asked me if I  
had any problems with the MMA I was using at current.  I said no, but I  
wanted the new MMA so I could just load the 'thin kernal' to save my self  
time etc.  (I thought it was a valid reason)  They told me that I had to  
have something wrong with the program and just because I wanted to save  
myself time, that was not good enough to warrant a new copy of MMA  
2.0.4.5.  Anyway, thought you guys might like to know.  If I find  
something wrong I shall call back, but I guess I won't waste my time or my  
phone bill on trying to make up a reason to get a new version.
