[comp.sys.amiga] Manx 5.0 finally arrives!

Jim.Priestle@afitamy.fidonet.org (Jim Priestle) (02/10/90)

Interesting ManX story.  I got 5.0 2 days ago.  I ordered it back in May 88 
And only had 3.4 then. So I had to buy 3.6 and the SDB etc.  I got it all.  
When I called back One of the numreous times I was told they lost my order but 
that 5.0 was free to all 3.6 owners. OK, I got 5.0 and a bill that said $0, 
$0, ans more $0's.  I have a hard time believing 5.0 is REALLY free and I 
don't think 3.6 + SDB etc cost $110.00 by itself.  But, your discription of 
their offices DOES answer alot of questions. -jim-

It may be free to people who bought 3.6 knowing that 5 was coming, 
namely after the last revised release date or something.

I my personal case, I ordered the 3.6 upgrade in May '88 for $90 and 
got it as well as a free upgrade to 5.0.  BTW, my 5.0 hasn't arrived yet.
