Let me kill this potential rumor before it snow-balls.... No, Lotus has not
extended its offer. The May deadline is the deadline for submitting the
Lotus coupon that comes with your system, which has to be ordered before
March 31. The reason that The Scholar's Workstation's machines can still
get you Improv is because TSW ordered the machines before March 31. As a
result of that, we have machines in stock, which are also eligible for
free Improv offer.... I hope this clears the potential rumor.
