We won't be taking any orders for support until Monday and I don^Òt think 
that any orders placed on Monday or Tuesday will hit our cutoff limit. 
If you are really concerned, please email steve.swaney at fsl.com off list.

You should be able to download new versions for free as you can now, but 
these will not be released more than every few months at least. To get

We are considering non-profit discounts. We really need to see what our 
support costs are before we start discounting. If we do discount, we 
will refund the price difference to any non-profits.
