- I suspect we did get such a package. In our shop, another person
- handles the business end with DEC, and I do the technical side.
- Most of the mail from DEC on these offers goes to him, not to me.
- A neon-orange sticker saying "FREE VMS MOTIF OFFER" would not seem
- any different than any other piece of advertising if you were not
- looking for it.

- To relate our own particular war story...
-
- I handed the forms to our DEC sales person in November of 1991.
- At some time during the long cold winter, DEC managed to lose the
- paper work. So we FAXed them another copy. While we were all
- waiting, the offer expired. Our local office did make good on the
- offer and we got the PAKs, but no Media and Documentation. More
- calls were made to DEC. Towards the end of May, the Kit finally
- arrived. As of the 30th of July, I still do not have access to
- the DSNlink DECW-MOTIF database.
-
- Just bad luck you may say, but at least one other site in Denver had
- the same problem.

- Could you bottle some of your luck up and ship it to Denver?
