Perhaps this is just >a short-sighted attempt to capitalize on the initial rush of FWP purchasers. Considering the number of other users who seem satisfied with it, I'm assuming that the sales rep was a rookie -- first day on the job or something. Still, they should train their people better; this wouldn't have happened at MacConnection. >I will always check MacWarehouse first, but I'd certainly not buy that one from >them, especially when I've seen it for $169. I'm assuming the $169 is the old price for FullWrite, before Ashton-Tate got a hold of it. They raised the list price by $100 (from $295 to $395), and the mail order companies who had taken advanced orders for FW seem to have raised it from $169 to $269. If you know somebody who's currently selling FullWrite Professional for $169, I'd like to know! "On our third date, I plan to screw your eyes blue."
