The computerland in here doesn't know anything about the upgrade kit. Would you guys please post the address and phone number (1-800 tool free??) so I can up grade to MS Windows 3.0 without waiting for *4-6 weeks* from MicroSoft? Thank you very much in advanced.

(ud157912.vm1.nodak.edu) (bitnet: ud157912@ndsuvm1) Egghead's number is 1-800-EGGHEAD. WHen you order, check on *which* upgrade they are going to send you. I got an upgrade which says 1.0x/3.0 upgrade. I didn't get a sales receipt, nor a registration card. My old version is 2.10, which is why I am concerned. Rumour has it (infoworld?) that there is an update to Win 3.0 in the works supposed to be coming out towards the end of this year. I want to remain eligible for upgrades... kartik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon
