- Sounds like I was lucky. When the offer was out, I read about it
- here. A couple of days later, I received a big white envelope from
- DEC with a neon-orange sticker that said something like "FREE VMS
- MOTIF OFFER" on it. I filled out the forms, sent them in, and
- received the PAK and tape about three weeks later.

- Wonder how I managed to be so lucky?!?!
