    Has anyone received a mailing from Aegis for this yet?  I got one
    the other day.  This really has me steamed.  You pay them $60.00
    a year.  You get:                                     
                                                          
    A subscription to their newsletter                    
                                                          
    Press releases for new products                       
                                                          
    Free upgrades of all products                         
                                                          
    Some free Compuserve time                             
                                                          
    Why am I steamed?  Because these are the same people who have really
    jerked me around with upgrades in the past, to products with known
    bugs.  Now, if you send them $60, they will send you the upgrades
    you should be getting for free (most of the time) anyways.
                                                          
    Who cares about the newsletter?  If it is anything like the Electronic
    Arts one, I'm not interested, and I'm certainly not going to PAY
    for a multipaged advertisement for Aegis products.  The EA one had
    very little Amiga coverage.  There is no indication of how often
    the newsletter will be distributed either.  If it is anything like
    Atari's magazine, it will be anyone's guess when the next issue
    will be out, if at all.                               
                                                          
    Free Compuserve time...so what.                       
                                                          
    Press releases of new products...give me a break!  This is the company
    that has pre-advertised all if its products, several months before
    availability.  Again, I'm not going to pay for what I can read in
    the pages of AmigaWorld.                              
                                                          
    What's your opinion of this 'offer?'
