Wouldn't it make more of a statement if you bought the 040 upgrade while Improv was still bundled, and then shipped your copy of Improv back to Lotus with a detailed explanation of why you're doing so? I just ordered a Slab, and I'm planning on doing something like this if I get Improv bundled with it. -- Doug DeJulio dd26@andrew.cmu.edu
