No kidding. I mailed back my card as soon as I purchased MSC 4.0 this
summer. Remember the blurb: C 5.0 will be distributed on a first come
first serve basis, so mail your card immediately. Well Bill buddy,
I rushed out and bought MSC 4.0 and mailed my card in immediately in 
order to 'reserve my copy of MSC 5.0'. What a fucking joke. I should
have waited. I see that EGGHEAD will ups you a MSC 5.0 within 3 days.
Boy, they sure must have bought lots of MSC 4.0 copies in order to
reserve so many  5.0 copies. Nice scam Bill. Let's see... (Bill speaking)
we've anounced MSC 5.0 way ahead of its release date and now people
are goind to delay purchases of MSC 4.0, better come up with a scam
to make sure our MSC 4.0 sales don't drop... God I'm pissed.
Ever thought of used car sales Bill????
