- Well, I know for sure that we are not high profile customers, and were
- not on the beta list or anything. Our two copies of 3.0, one with the purchase
- of the CD-ROM and one because we bought a Turbo a couple of months ago. So
- both of these were free (in your thought).
- One of our associate developers also got both the Drive and the CD in
- the last 4 days. And if I am low/no profile, this guy is non-existent.
-
- What you state as facts, has the usual Crispin spin on it.
