- I apologize for any misunderstandings. 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.
