	Well, I know for sure that we are not high profile customers, and were  
not on the beta list or anything.  Our two copies of 3.0, one with the purchase  
of the CD-ROM and one because we bought a Turbo a couple of months ago.  So  
both of these were free (in your thought).
	One of our associate developers also got both the Drive and the CD in  
the last 4 days.  And if I am low/no profile, this guy is non-existent.

	What you state as facts, has the usual Crispin spin on it.
