- I'd have to agree here. Sooner or later a customer will want to run something
- that will not be Xenix friendly. He will then blame you for not having a more
- current set of software on his system. In a sense our customers are also in
- our care and we should always suggest - not force - that they stay current
- with both hardware and software. It helps with support and general flexibility
- today and tomorrow.
