When I got my Microsoft announcement about the $99 upgrade to 3.0,
I sent it in the next day.  This was back in the middle of November.
About 2 weeks ago I received a post card from Microsoft.  It stated
the following:

Your Order Number:		701936
Get Ready for the power of the word!

Latest Shipping Upgrade....Mac Word 3.0 should roll out the last week
in January....Orders will be filled in order of receipt....Expect your
personal copy by mid February.

The other side has the following info:

Questions about your order?  Call our Word 3.0 Order Hotline, toll free,
1-800-323-3577.  Your Order NUmber is shown on the other side of the card.
Please have it ready when you call.

Questions about the operational abilites of Word 3.0 for the Macintosh
should be direted to our Product Support Department at (206) 882-8089.

I have seen and played with a beta copy of 3.0.  It has some very nice
features.  However, to use all of its features, you will need a hard
disk.  Word 3.0 requires a pile of disk space.  I'm hoping that my
order number means that I'm the 1936th order for 1987.
