Replying to a message of Roland Stiner to Darryl Gregorash:
RS> I want to see WordPerfect live...
Then as I suggested, write or call Corel and ask about their upgrade policy
for people who have stuck all these years with a version released by WPCorp.
If they say there is none, mention to them that they do not need to convert
any of us over, we are already sold on it.. but that most probably will not
upgrade if they have to buy the product as if they never bought anything at
all in the past.
Corel may be working under the assumption that the WP faithful will buy it
anyway, upgrade policy or not. If so, they won't change their minds unless we
let them know their assumption is not at all correct.
Corel has a big enough problem with things like Billy Gates paying a visit to
people like the Prime Minister of Canada and somehow the very next day, the
decision by an entire government department to buy Corel WP is reversed. We
need to show them we can boost their sales figures a bit, but that it will
take a bit of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" on their part.
