- I absolutely agree.
-
- BTW, I admit I'm biased. I was working for USL on the Destiny. It is
- a shame to see such a good product go nowhere. When I worked for USL, I
- tried my best to convince USL to give schools SUBSTANTIAL discount for her
- products but failed. I also tried to convince people in USL to sell the
- fundamental set of Destiny in an affordable price (< $100), using an example
- of "drug dealing" which was used by other vendors. But I still failed.
- I don't believe that Destiny will get a small piece of market from NT if
- USL maintains the same policy. (Sigh!) BTW, I am very surprised to find
- out UNIVEL is so incompetent in marketing UnixWare!!! (Sigh again!)
-
- Could someone in USL pass this message to Roel? (Don't deny. I know you
- guys are watching closely on this net group. 8-)
