I'm still waiting for the 1991 upgrade to Managing Your Money to arrive.
Have any of you received yours? If so, about when did you get it?
I paid for the 1991 upgrade when I registered the copy I currently use;
I'm beginning to think they've lost track of the order. I won't be able
to reach MECA Ventures for a few days, so I thought I'd check if anyone
else is waiting, too.
Thanks, Barry

According to Scott J Bury <sjbury@owlnet.rice.edu> who called MECA, the next release is not due to ship until Februrary, 1991. I hope this doesn't mean they're still trying to get the bugs out. Barry

I'm afraid that I haven't received my upgrade either. I've been subscribing to MYM's update service since they released their product. Each year it seems to take them about 13 or 14 months to crank out the new update. I feel a bit cheated since this year it looks like I've paid for a year's worth of updates, but have not received any software. That seems a bit disturbing that they aren't answering their telephones!

I wonder if MECA is using this as a neat way to increase their revenues per software release.
