I just bought Hypercard from my dealer in Nashua, NH. They almost wouldn't
sell it to me, saying that they were reserving the copies they had for
those customers who had bought Mac SE's after the Magic Date but before
they had Hypercard in stock. This leads me to believe that Hypercard
is not supposed to be _in_ the SE box, but that the dealer should give
you the Hypercard box with the SE box (or give you a voucher or some
piece of paper that says you get Hypercard as soon as the dealer has
it in stock).

That's funny. My dealer still won't give me HyperCard (I bought a Mac three weeks ago) because all the copies they have are for sale, and "Apple hasn't mailed us the free copies." This is the same dealer who kept me waiting three weeks for a working internal HD20 EPROM, because "Apple didn't mail it until yesterday." Is this legitimate? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oliver Steele ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!mcnc!unc!steele steele%unc@mcnc.org "It takes three to hierarchy." -- John Smith

It's up to the dealer to decide how much profit she wants to make. As a matter of fact, the dealer gave me a 20% discount off HyperCard (I'm such a nice guy). I would say your dealer is playing dirty pool by selling what copies she has, and is waiting for a bulk shipment to give to you. Whatever the problem really is, if there are copies of HyperCard in the store, you should be allowed to have one.-- INTERNET: keith@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu PLATO: keith/uhcc/hawaii UUCP: {ihnp4,uunet,dcdwest,ucbvax}!sdcsvax!nosc!uhccux!keith BITNET: keith%uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu@rutgers.edu CIS: 70611,2701
