By the time Apple make the NFR copies available for ordering, we have
been out to buy a full priced copy and installed it so that we are
able to help our members who are doing the same thing. We have also

again.
Hey folks...
I think that you're missing a key point here.
Sure, the NFR is intended for demo purposes, but the discussion so far
has been that "first impression" demo that we're all anxious to
deliver.
But that's not the bigger picture.
Giving each MUG an NFR assures that you can upgrade you group's
primary
or demo Mac with the current version of the OS, to support not just
that
first demo, but all the demos and activities you'll deliver going
forward.
Personally, I think a lot of the generated rancour here could be
alleviated by simply telling everybody what they are going to do, up
front and honestly.
If they said - 'we will provide an NFR copy within two weeks of
Leopard's release' at any point before Leopard was actually for sale,
then everyone could make a reasonable decision of what to do. As it
is, it makes many people feel like dogs waiting to see if the human
will throw us a bone this time or not...
While that might sound a little harsh, it gentler than I feel right
now. I've been trying to log into our group's already existing ASW
account since they announced the iWork NFR program with no success.
No one I've contacted can do anything - it's like some dark
fraternity or something. Does anybody have any ideas other than the
regional group liaison (who hasn't accomplished anything) or the
never answered email@hidden ?
