K, I decided to call them myself... should have done this before. Sorry I was skeptical Mr. Lomax.
Protel Sales stated the following: You are right, if you purchase the 98 to 99SE upgrade for $1995, you get the next version FREE. [Yep, that IS a Most Excellent deal; I don't see any other way to slice that.] If you purchased 99SE after Oct 1, you get the next version FREE. This is effectively because you already paid for it. ($8K instead of $5K) If you purchased 99SE before Oct 1, you get to PAY for the next version. Price is indeterminate, but they suspect $1995. End quotes by Protel Sales... Additionally, I understand that all of the above will include any service packs released during your ATS membership... and there will be no further service packs for 99SE. Sorry I doubted you on this Abdulrahman. I hope this settles this issue :) At 11:21 PM 12/13/2001 -0500, you wrote: >I could have said this more strongly: > >At 03:30 PM 12/13/01 -0600, Frank Gilley wrote: >>Do you know for a fact that upgrading from 98 to 99SE will get you the >>next release free due to ATS membership?
