About the same happened to me, except that I haven't yet received the CDs, but I have received an "order confirmation". It was about an order I had never placed. I found that extremely puzzling at first, but when I saw it that the price was 0.00 US$, and that it was about an Applix CD without printed manuals, I could imagine what had happened. Yes, really a *good thing*! And definitely nothing I'd expect from the "market leader."
