This is a problem for newbies... they don't know what versions they're getting unless they look at the date on CompUSA's price tag ('6/99 Ed' or something like that -- even then, it's not specific.) I wasn't even sure myself. What happens after 15 Sept (assuming 3.3-R comes out) and the items in the box AREN'T "latest version"?
