I purchased a new copy of Parallels from Amazon.com com last week. This week they have released a new (3.0) version. There is no free upgrade, and in fact the upgrade price is $49, almost what I paid for Parallels in the first place. I've sent in a request for a free upgrade to the Parallels folks. I'd like to avoid having to block payment through my credit card and inconveniencing the retailer (it really isn't their fault). Even Apple will give you a free update to the Mac OS if you purchase the old version a week earlier. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
