Subject: Excel Pricing for the Zenith Bundle in the Education Channel

..

.. bear in mind that (1) we will ship a new version of Excel
simultaneously with Windows 3.0, now scheduled for late August, and (2)
IBM will have a large amount of hardware bundled with Excel in the
acedemic channel this fall, and WE AREN'T TAKING RETURNS at this price ..

WOW!!! They planned to ship the new version of Excel in August 1989 when
Windows 3.0 was released.

Now I know how morons like you and Schestowitz spend their free time.
Searching the web for *completely useless* information.
