Well, their service must be very uneven.  Or maybe I'm just lucky?  I bought
ProPage 1.3 late last year.  I was waiting for ProPage 2.0 to be released,
but the box had a 'free upgrade' sticker, and I had the cash and ...

I sent in my registration some weeks later (I tend to procastinate too
much), along with a letter that I was interested in the upgrade when it
was released.  I also purchased the Compugraphic font package that was
offered at a reduced rate.  Maybe the fact that I purchased this extra
item made them more responsive? :->  However, since I wanted the fonts,
and the cost was less than I would otherwise have had to pay, it seemed
reasonable to me.

Anyway, the fonts arrived a reasonably short time later, followed by ProPage
2.0 a few weeks ago.  The only down side is that my personal life has been
rather busy lately, so that I have had *no* time to play with it.

Personally, I think that the simple letter prompted Gold Disk to be more
responsive.  Maybe not, since I seem to recall that other people, who are
waiting for ProPage 2.0, also sent letters.
