- I agree Commodore should make the upgrade available for free or at a
- nominal cost. (S+H if you get it by mail a $5 charge to cover material
- cost and overhead) Too bad Commodore can't afford that. But then
- there would be no reason to argue for 1.3 compatibility.

- I'm sorry. Somewhere you have to break with the past. C= has lost
- your business either because you can't upgrade or you don't want to
- buy something else from them. Either way it really doesn't matter.
- You are about to be joined by a large group of 500 owners on the "No
- longer supported" pile (perhaps).
