Speed Doubler to CopyAgent upgrade discount? Not exactly Speed Doubler 8 users will be able to get CopyAgent for a "$29 discount." Contact Connectix to get a "special link to the discounted version." (See previous item.) Update: Connectix at first replied: "Connectix Copy Agent is available for $39. Period. The offer that you mention was a special offer to a select group of people. This group was integral in the development of this new version, and thus are being rewarded for their support." However, a subsequent reply from Julio Diaz (of Connectix Sales) confirms that there is a discount: It is $10 off, for a final price of $29. Registered Speed Doubler users should contact Connectix to obtain the link to the discount offer. Several readers were told by Connectix that this offer would be good only for a couple of weeks (probably only until July 31).
