Well, I was expecting about a six week wait since the sales lady said
that the $40 upgrades were back ordered and it was 3-6 weeks till
expected delivery.  She said it might come earlier, and she was right!
Only about 5 working days later, here it is!  Took a long time to
install (44 megs worth with everything but some of the example files
installed), but now I have a new toy!  I'll spend hours just figuring
out how I want the color syntax bit set up.  Any ideas? 

The Pharlap's free package was about what I expected, one disk and some
advertising (propaganda) about their super deluxe model ($500!), guess
I won't be ordering any!  Well, free is free right?  I'll have to see
what the disk based docs say about it, and figure out if it's worth
bothering with.  After all, Borland has overlays...  What do you think?

Here is a compleat list of what I received:

1) card board shipping box (smile)
2) Phar Lap's propaganda and 1 high density disk
3) 7 page install pamphlet
4) License agreement and assorted product propaganda about other Borland
   products
5) U.S. & Canada registration related stuff (in envelope)
6) International registration related stuff (another envelope)
7) Quick reference card (most usefull of the bunch?)
8) 3.1 User's Guide 228 pages
9) 18 high density 5.25 disks (I got the application frameworks too)
10) 1 plastic entertainment toy (bubble pack)

Well, on the more serious side, I'm gonna play with my new compiler for a
while and determine if it was worth it.  I'll have to check out the
upgraded ability to work with precompiled headers (no longer have to be
in teh same order) and see if that speeds things up.  Also have to figure
out how I'm going to arange to load dpmi before windows... I'm on a 286
don't ya know.
