Oh?  I reported some bugs to WRI a couple of months ago, got
back E-mail suggesting I call and get the upgrade.  Called, 
aked for it *firmly but politely* and a week later it arrived
by *Federal Express* at no charge to me but, obviously, not 
insignificant cost to WRI for software they were already giving away.
Told all other academic NeXT users here about this and every one of
them who has takent the time to call has also received his/her upgrade
at no cost.

I suggest you call again and be sure you speak to someone who is
clear on the upgrade policy.  Now whether we'll get 2.1 free or
not is another matter, but 2.0.4.5 is far better and Wolfram is 
giving it out to NeXT users for *free*.
