- It was on MY price list - but the offer or rather the promotional bundle
- was available for purchase through NOVEMBER 15, 1992 - NOT 8/15.

- Stewart,
-
- If your bookstore or where ever you purchased it will not go to bat
- for you - which they should. You can tell them to call Apple's Higher Ed
- Support in Austin, TX ('course though since I couldn't help but see those
- ads for Apple support personnel in Texas - you _might_ not get the prompt
- reply you should) - your Apple Rep should be able to get you the number
- for them there. If he can't or won't e-mail me and I'll let you know what
- it is.
-
- Good Luck!
