- I would really like to hear something official on this. I can understand
- HP wanting to drop items from support but, considering they have been
- taking my money for a year now for software support on a 68020 machine I
- think there is an assumption there that it is still being supported. I mean,
- if HP has no intention of shipping me an upgrade for my computer then why
- are they taking my money? Why do I get the feeling they will ship me the
- software and expect me to realize it won't work on my computer all by
- myself (and before I install it and find out the hardware!)
