Well, actually, it came up the day before your post because they
semi-SPAMmed the PLUG contact addy :).

Since you mentioned them, I'll include the content from realsoftware.

###
REALbasic for Linux recently received a Linux World Readers' Choice award
for Best Linux Development Tool and Best Linux Programming Environment. We
think this is a pretty well-kept secret, and we believe that Linux users
could be creating more Linux software, more quickly and easily than ever
before, with REALbasic, if they knew more about it.

So, we'd like to offer your entire user group the opportunity to get their
very own copy of REALbasic for Linux, Standard Edition, completely free of
charge.

In addition, REAL World, the REALbasic User's Conference, is coming up at
the end of February -- get more info here:
<http://www.realsoftware.com/realworld>.

It's a great time to meet other REALbasic developers, gain knowledge from
their experience and get introduced to REALbasic for LInux in a hurry.

What's more, if you register for the conference by February 6, 2006, we'll
give you a free 12-month subscription to REALbasic Professional Edition,
(a
$399.95 value). Use REALbasic Professional Edition to create software not
just for Linux, but for Windows and Macintosh as well, all from a single
source code base. (Note: This is a special limited offer and expires
February 6, 2006 so act now. Send email to <janet@realsoftware.com> to
get this special discount.

So, don't delay.  As a member of a Linux User Group,  you can download
REALbasic for LInux Standard Edition for free right here:
<http://www.realsoftware.com/download/linux> and register for the
conference
here:  <http://www.realsoftware.com/realworld>

We hope to welcome you to the vibrant, exciting REALbasic community and we
hope to meet you in person at REAL World 2006.


Best regards,
