I went to buy Parallels today (I know, cutting it close), but they jacked the price up to $79.99 a day early! On their main page, they say the discount is available through the 15th, not until. Am I reading this wrong? Are they writing this wrong? Anyone else have this problem?

Maybe they're in a different time zone?

That could be true. Kind of lame, though.

Call them up and see if you can still get it at the $49 price; most companies are happy to oblige a paying customer over nit-picky things

Though originally it was only going to be until 1.0 was released... still, give it a shot, they're pretty nice folk.

USB support sucks. If that worked, I'd consider getting it.

I need to use my USB floppy drive for a lot of Windows software installs. Using their proprietary virtual floppies is too much of a pain. Would be ok if they supported .img or .dmg formats.
