from his or her dealer, I hope.


This isn't meant to replace the old method of getting the software upgrade
from the dealer (like we did for Transformer 1.2, or Janus 2.0, or
Workbench 1.2)  It's just providing another (usually faster) method
for Amiga owners to get updates.


(Actually, at $6/hour for GEnie, less than that for Plink, 
they really are not that expensive, especially if you use it only to get a 
software update.)

(BIX is $160/year flat rate, which is a good deal if you want to post
 a lot, but isn't if you plan just to pick up a couple of software updates :-) )
