My sympathies. I bought LS Pascal a year ago from the (then) Australian distributors, and duly mailed off my registration card. Since then I have not heard a squeak out of anyone, either the distributor or Think. I got hold of the 1.11 upgrade only because I happen to be on the net. And I'll bet I won't get any notification of 2.0. What about people who don't have access to the Mac newsgroups? Oh, and I wouldn't be unduly upset about US$50 for a 2.0 upgrade. You should see the prices we pay for hardware and software down here in Oz. :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Yin-Hon Lian ACSnet: ben@tasis.utas.oz Dept. of EE & CS ARPA : ben%tasis.utas.oz.au@uunet.uu.net University of Tasmania BITnet: munnari!tasis.utas.oz!ben@ GPO Box 252C uunet.uu.net (I think) Hobart, Tasmania 7001 UUCP : {enea,hplabs,mcvax,uunet,ukc}!
