- Well, I wouldn't take an axe to it but I would definitely trade it in!
- The sales offices have programs in place to give allowances for people
- who are upgrading their equipment. (May not be as satisfying as the axe but,
- more economically sound.)

- This will definitely not happen! I for one would like to see 10.0 be a unified
- release with seamless functionality (except for graphics which I don't think
- will ever be supported on the s800 again). Of course, I don't make the
- decisions. I just deal with the results :-).
