I meant to state that any order for SoftPC received now (after December 1992) will be filled with a 2.0 diskette, with a free upgrade to SoftPC 3.0 when it is released. I did not mean to convey that all current 2.0 users get a free upgrade to 3.0. As for the upgrade price... that is essentially what I paid for my SoftPC's when I bought in volume last year (1991). I agree that is high. January 1993 is definitely 1st quarter. -- - Geoff ----------------------------------------------------------------- Geoffrey Brunkhorst brunkhorst@Mayo.edu Research Computing Facility, Guggenheim 10 (507) 284-1805 Mayo Foundation, Rochester MN, 55905, USA fax (507) 284-5231
