Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe that IMPROV is NOT bundled
in with the new system 2.0. I believe that the deal is that if you've
bought a new NeXT you can then send in to Lotus and receive back a 
copy of IMPROV. The IMPROV deal is, as far as I know, offered only
to those who purchase a new machine and is not extended to those who
are upgrading their motherboard to an '040.
