- Just in case I confused anyone here, you have to have bought the
- 50mhz '030 PowerCache by November 1st. I didn't mean to imply that
- you have to have _upgraded_ by November 1st (which would be impossible
- anyway, since the '040 isn't out yet). You have all of 1993 to get
- the special upgrade price, as long as you bought the 50mhz '030
- between 8/1 and 11/1. The deal also does not apply to people who
- upgraded to the 50mhz '030 -- only to people who bought it at full
- price.
