I got this email a week or so ago and have been thinking of posting the 
information to the list, er, or organization that is. The offer below says 
Sep 30th for notebook Labtech, but the original email (unfortunately was 
looks like text, actually a .gif) was for regular Labtech software same 
$500 for a license good for the whole organization with end date of Aug 30th.

My thought was that we might want to do what we did for the Teledisk 
software, get a point man for our organization, Classic Computing, and if 
say 25 people went in on it per person it would be a manageable about $25 
each ($20 plus $5 to dupe CD and mail). I would be game myself up to a cost 
per person of about $35.

I don't want to be the point person, somebody with more knowledge of 
LabTech etc. should be it, but I also don't want this to just slip away. 3 
months from now this software might really be hard to get at any price.

My main question is what hardware will this version work on, ie how old, 
mac or pc, etc.

************************************************ Notebook offer which is 
just like the regular offer, but ends a month later.

On September 30, 2004, all LABTECH products including all versions of 
Notebook and Control will be discontinued. After that date the products 
will no longer be available.

Between today and September 30, 2004 you can buy an unlocked copy of the 
latest version of LABTECH NOTEBOOKpro and LABTECH CONTROLpro for $500. 
These new unlocked copies will be licensed for unlimited, multiple 
installation within the purchasing company or organization.

In addition, there will be no new unlock codes issued for currently locked 
editions. If you anticipate that you may need to move your existing copy to 
a new computer, or expand your application onto additional computers you 
should take advantage of this offer.

We will continue to offer technical support with the same plans and 
policies as we currently offer, though we reserve the right to add 
reasonable service plan price increases in the future. We are also 
committed to maintaining the current version of the product and will 
address bug fixes as they are identified.

Finally, we will release the required resources or source code to any 
organization that wants to create support for hardware interfaces not 
supported in that version.
