Search Again: RePricing From: Rob Mastro Date: Thursday, September 26, 2002 Time: 8:30:11 am >"Special competitive upgrade pricing >available (up to 50% off)." This usually means that if you are currently using a product which is considered (according to the company providing the discount) to be direct= ly competitive with their product, they will provide you with a discount to switch to their product. ie: If you use QuickBooks Pro, Peachtree Accounting might provide you with large incentives to switch to Peachtree. Peachtree, of course, would market their software as an "upgrade." Thus, marketing gobbledy-gook with a discount that a small percentage do get to take advantage of. -- Rob Thursday, September 26, 2002, 9:56:02 AM, you wrote: Wac> The quote from their web site is "Special competitive upgrade pricin= g=20 Wac> available (up to 50% off)."
