According to PC Week, 8/20/90, Q-Pro Ver. 2.0 is due in 4th quarter 1990, Price is $495, Upgrade from 1.0 $79.95... BUT they also say Borland will continue its upgrade policy for users of "other high-end spreadsheets" of $99.95... So maybe you should wait to go for the cheap upgrade offer till 2.0 comes out... I know I'd be peeved if I was forced to pay $99.95+79.95 for Q-Pro 2.0 when others got it for $99.95... By the way, does anybody really pay $500 for this software??? ============================================================================= Ross Bannerman | mitel!banner@uunet.uu.net MITEL Corp. | uunet!mitel!banner Kanata, Ont. | banner@mitel.com ================================================================LEAFS in '91=

You did not need to have another high-end spreadsheet to qualify. So, yes, for this offer, you will have to pay $99.95+$79.95 to get to QPro 2.0. -- Al Shing (ashing@cac.washington.edu)
