- Woody, some people would piss and moan if you gave them the upgrade
- free. In my opinion, you have never really charged enough for the
- upgrades to help insure your company's continuing success. I, for
- one will continue to upgrade so long as there is a product to upgrade
- to. As for you FW(win95), I'll get that so I won't have to do Word
- on my pc box. Softwood has always provided the Amiga community with
- very good value for the money.
