Claris tells me today (1/24) that they "don't know where we [users] are
getting this information from [I quoted the above message to them]", but this
has not yet been decided.  They took my name and address and told me that if
they decide to send the free upgrades, I will receive a disk in the mail at
some point.

The problem seems to be that my 2.0 came with my IIsi when I bought the IIsi,
and so it is "an Apple product, not a Claris product", and so the above
information does not apply to me.  Or something.

I'm confused.  I thought this was a legitimate way of getting 2.0.  Am I
entitled to an upgrade, or am I not?
