I have the Norwegian Warp 4.0 CD in a box in my parents' attic; I'll try to dig it out when I go to see them for Christmas.

IBM were so eager (understandably so) to gain market share that I simply called their Norwegian office and asked if I could have a few copies for installing in my high school's computer lab. 'Sure thing!' - days later I received a box full of retail copies along with a friendly letter suggesting I get in touch if I needed more!

I got Warp 4 easily, but sadly, in the era of Warp 2 and Warp 3, even in charge of a 6-digit IT budget, I couldn't get eval copies -- nor later as a journalist at a UK national PC magazine.

It got the message way too late.
