|  At least they admit they won't offer an upgrade this time.

   WRONG.

   We are definitely going to make upgrades available.  We have
not announced price or availability.  John was only trying to prevent
rumoured price information from spreading around the net.
 
   Watch my letters:
 
   TOS 1.4 WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AS AN UPGRADE TO *ALL* ST AND MEGA
   OWNERS.  PLEASE BE PATIENT.  AS SOON AS DATES AND PRICES ARE MADE
   AVAILABLE, THE INFORMATION WILL BE DISSEMINATED AS WIDELY AS
   POSSIBLE.
 
   Thank you.
