Yes, I see a couple of reviews (ONLY from yesterday and the day before?) that say they got the state for free as promised, finally. One says he had to contact Amazon to get it straightened out. Other reviews from the day before yesterday (which to me would be included in "recent"), said they are still not able to get the download for free. What a huge hassle!!! But either way, the price is still $10 more than it will be in a month, so I'm waiting. By that time, there should be a preponderance of reviews indicating that all is well. I'm in no hurry, but I suppose that if I was I'd pay the extra and take my chances.
Wow, you'd think I was an absolute, utter moron given the responses to my pointing out my observation.
I didn't think it was that difficult to see the problem that the TT+state has or had; maybe I was too assertive, or maybe I am not communicating accurately or well. I probably need a second cup of coffee, or maybe even a third, PRONTO....
