[comp.sys.amiga] ATalkIII and Diga! upgrade

dbuchtal@math.lsa.umich.edu (Dave Buchthal) (03/07/90)

I'm one of the very unfortunate people who got a copy of Diga!
with a software package I bought with my Amiga long ago.  I
recently received a newsletter from Oxxi saying that with another
comm program, one could upgrade to ATalkIII for $34.95 with 
original disk and manual cover.  Diga! owners could upgrade with
proof of purchase.  At the bottom of the paragraph, they
said the upgrade cost $39.95.  Questions:  Is the upgrade
(in general) 34.95 or 39.95?  Is there any difference between
upgrading from Diga! and another comm program?  Why do I feel
I may hear from Marco in the near future?  :-)

I have seen the newsletter and I'm as confused as you are (that's what
happends when you license your software to a publisher and lose control
over marketing/sales :-(

I'll give a call to OXXI and see what they come up with.  Anyone can reach
them at (213)427-1227.

I've been told by OXXI that the upgrade is $34.95 for users of A-Talk and 
A-Talk Plus, and $39.95 for users of 'other' communication programs, such
as Diga!, Online!, Dr. Term, etc.  I really have no control of any of this, so
please contact OXXI directly in the future. Thank you.
