Well, I called Symantech THINK Technologies division yesterday to find out
what the status on the LSC 3.0 upgrade is. They told me that they would be
sending leeters out next week to all registered users to clue them into the
procedure for getting the new stuff. There are some good points and some
not-so-good points.

     1: the upgrade is shipping later this month.
	      This means we can all soon have our fondest desires (:-))
	      fulfilled.
     2: source level debugging
	      What more needs to be said?
     3: it will come with a new manual
	      No more futzing through 17 different addendums to addendums to
	      additions to the manual.


     AND-------------

     4: it will only cost (the upgrade, that is) $69.00!!!!!

	     I may seriously think twice about getting it at this sort of
	     price.

The retail price is not going to change, so it doesn't do a whole lot of
good to have bought it earlier waiting for 3.0. You can get a nw=ew one from
MacConnection for only about $30.00 more than the upgrade. (And I bought it
in Jan of '88 hoping for the upgrade, so I missed the Feb 1 deadline for the
free one. Oh well.)

I forgot to ask if it supports 68881 and 68020. Rich? Any word on that, now
that it is semi-official?
