This is wrong.  It's available to both new machine and upgrade
purchases from now until Dec 31, 90.  You have to be willing to accept
delivery of the machine by Dec 31 (if you can/could get it).  If you
want to buy a machine, but not accept it until next year sometime, no
go.  At least that's what the guy I talked to said.
