I bought my machine (an 040 slab) here on at the U. Chicago campus today
(April 25, 1991) and to my surprise found that it did not come with
Mathematica (as advertised) but that it did contain a pamphlet entitled
"RSVP" which offered me free tee-shirts, NeXTWORLD subscription, and
- SURPRISE - Improv!  At least that's what it looks like. It says I'm
going to get "$700" worth of nifty stuff for sending in this registration
form (doesn't mention the 200 tons of non-recyclable junk-mail, of course!)

Anyway, is this the coupon you were talking about?  Am I gonna get Improv?
RSVP!!

Please limit your flames if any, this is my first time posting ever!

Thanks in advance,
