I called Microsoft (again) about the upgrade to the Academic Edition. According to the information center the upgrade includes: 2 diskettes -- the program disk and utilities disk a pocket guide a coupon to purchase the manuals for $35.00 a coupon to purchase SuperPaint directly from Silicon beach (she didn't know the price or the version offered on the coupon) This agrees with information previously posted. Evidently the information center doesn't know what is being shipped in some cases. I wouldn't count on getting everything listed in Ken's message. Glen

I hope this answers the questions about what is included in the Academic .VErsion upgrade. Wellll, not really. There seems to be a difference between what you get if you upgrade, and what you get if you buy it off-the-shelf. I just spoke to MS Customer Support today...I haven't sent in my upgrade application (academic version) yet...but from what they said, all I get (for my $35 plus 6% California tax and $5.50 shipping) is the software. I will supposedly receive ANOTHER order form with the diskettes, which I can use to order the documentation for ANOTHER $35. Grumble.

According to MicroSoft, the Academic Version contains only the Software and a coupon to order the manuals. Which means your bookstore is selling the full version for a really good price, which is the same thing that happens here. My reason for finding this out was that my upgrade coupon said Academic Versions were not upgradable by the coupon I had. However, MS confirmed that mine was indeed the full version and I should send in for my free update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig Luis, Macintosh Support Internet: luisc@coil.cs.orst.edu Oregon State University - Computer Science Corvallis, Oregon 97331-3902 (503) 754-3273 "That's the news, and I'm outta here!" -Dennis Miller, SNL `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`
