Toast 7 won't burn...

[ElDiabloConCaca]

Strange... I got my email late July/early August saying Toast 7 would be released at the end of the month, and as a previous purchaser of Toast 5 and Toast 6 would be offered a special price after rebate... no mention of getting it before anyone else, nor any mention of being able to download it!

My bad, I apologize for assuming... Now I'm just miffed that all you will get your copies before me!

No probs here ElDiablo - you are just doing what most of us here do... looking out for the real deal.

So as a "purchaseer" (play on spelling) of 5 and 6 did they offer you a better deal than the laughable 99.95 minus a $30 USD rebate?

I have owned it for years and never gotten any kind of special deals that make me actually feel like I'm a special old school customer.

Disapointed that as a long time holder I get offered a "deal" that costs me what it woudl to talk into CompUSA to get it... minus a 3 month wait for my $30 rebate.

Constantine...

The offer price was $99.95, plus a $30 rebate for a final price of $69.95, boxed and delivered no earlier than August 31st.

I did purchase both Toast 5 and 6 at educational pricing in a university software store here in town, but I don't think that has anything to do with it -- as far as I know, the boxed copies of 5 and 6 that I got were identical to retail copies, and that they did not use different serial numbers to differentiate between retail and educational copies (ie, Roxio wasn't tracking educational purchases, just offering retail copies to edu institutions at reduced pricing).

At any rate, Roxio's got my order now so we'll see when the actual product arrives. I was under the assumption that "no later than August 31" meant "no later than August 31" for anyone... but as of yet, nothing has shipped. Nothing on my order indicates that I'm getting an "educational" version of Toast.
