Hank,

Sorry, I forgot to mention IBM sold the pre-release version here, with a
FREE upgrade to the official version when it becomes available. But I
suspect that other companies/vendors don't offer this to customers...
IBM only sold it on the 11 october, so there shouldn't be much copies around.
It was VERY cheap though !

 HL> Do you happen to live in Australia?

I live in Belgium, the Other-Side-of-the-World-no-one-has-heard-about.

Greetings,

Peter.
