- Exactly my point. I spent ú15 (which I couldn't really afford, but thought

- It would have been better if you pay for major upgrades after a given
- period, say 1 1/2 years. I got bugger all use out of MUI 2.x because at
- the time few programmes supported it, and those that did weren't always a
- great deal of use to me. MUI 3.x seems to becoming very well supported,
- but I guess I'll just have to use the ordinary interface.
- How many major updates can we expect? Another 2 or 3? That's, ooh, ú15 for
- a new user and up to ú47 for a user who has fully support MUI since MUI
- 2.x. Good value eh?
