- SCO wants to charge me $100 to convert 5.25 inch diskettes to 3.5 inch
- simply because I didn't get possession of the software until after 30 days
- after purchase. The software had been sitting in a warehouse, and had
- never been used - all manuals and diskettes are still sealed.
-
- OTOH, MS has sent me free upgrades to software without even asking for
- proof of purchase of any kind.
