Quote -  OK now I'm envious. I haven't got any side grade offer but I HAVE got me a new (used, but new to me) computer so I was sorta ready for Pro.. only I can't afford it at the regular price right now. 

Did you get an email? Link? anything? I want!

The Smith Micro Poser Pro 2010 page has the sidegrades listed among the purchase options. I think the email was just a way of getting people's attention.
