No, not so odd. It's for new purchasers, like those who've never had
JAWS before; or also, those who are not on a SMA. (Yes there are those
who are on a SMA who've not received their 6.0 yet, but perhaps on or
before March 15, they will.) (I'm one of those who have received it and
are thriving, pretty much.

Was this released today, March 4? If so, I think most of us have our
upgrades, very odd indeed.
