Didn't we go through all of this already?

For the last time:

1) Availability through ftp and bulletin boards.
     Sure, I wish we had it.  But we don't.  And we never have had it, not
     even for HyperCard 1.x.

2) Availability through user groups.
     Licensed user groups have been distributing 2.0 for weeks now.

3) Availability through Claris.
     Claris is asking forty-nine bucks for the upgrade package.  That's all.
     That's just what you would pay at your Apple dealer if it were an Apple
     product.  And you can't get a better deal for a major upgrade from any
     other software company.

Finally, it's simply not up to you to decide where and how HyperCard 2.0
should be distributed.  It's not up to me either.  If you don't like it,
there are lots of constructive things you can do to express your
discontent.

Now, in this newsgroup, let's please try to talk about the software.  If
there's a need for another wave of HyperFlames, lets establish a new
newsgroup.  Within this one, we've already done them to death.
