Explorations Updates
Here is an excerpt from OESD's Education Tip of the Week e-mail I received today.
Thought I'd pass it on!
If you are an Explorations 1.4 owner, we have good news! It's been long awaited but it's finally here! Explorations v1.5 is now available! Explorations v1.5 is VISTA® compatible, Make It Stitches compatible and has a new Greek font. If you have v1.4, you can receive v1.5 at no charge, for a limited time. (YOU MUST HAVE v1.4 to take advantage of this opportunity.) Here's all you have to do:
1. Open your Explorations software.
2. Click on Contact, click on Contact OESD, then click on Off-line Form.
3. You can either complete the information on your computer and then print, or you can print and fill in the blanks. (We would prefer you use your computer to fill in the blanks to avoid any mistakes.)
4. Print the form and mail it AND your original v1.4 Installation CD (or 1.4 Update CD) to the address at the top of the form. Please write ATTN: Free 1.5 Upgrade on your envelope to avoid delay in processing. 
5. There will be no charge. Your new v1.5 CD will be mailed to you. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery.
6. If you do not have a printer or can't print the form for any reason, you can take your security key to your dealer and have them print off the form for you.
7. If you have Explorations v1.3 or earlier (v1.0 to v1.3) you can purchase your v1.5 Update from your local dealer. Click HERE to find a dealer near you.
8. If you'd like to see more about Make It Stitches view this video on www.stitchtalk.com.
Offer for free update good until December 31, 2007. Your original v.1.4 installation CD must be included with the completed Offline Form. Please make sure the Offline Order Form is filled in completely.
However, REGISTER EARLY (form and original v1.4 Installation CD MUST be postmarked by November 30, 2007) and receive a $50 coupon good toward the purchase of the Make It Stitches Companion Software! Coupon for Make It Stitches must be redeemed by midnight December 31, 2007 CST.
