That I recall the only time previous versions were given away was
2.2.6.
Was this ever done before?

I think a deep discount may be better than free. At the very least
shipping should be covered.

Of the 44 sets of 2.2.6 I got I have given away almost half and I
have tried to be selective on who I giv it away (don't want these
gifts to sit on a dusty shell) If I could buy older versions at a
bargain price I would always buy some copies for friends/co-workers.

Maybe we should have a previous version subscription.
