I'll buy unsupported only. 1.3 is neither obselete nor antiquated. While one can argue the semantics (let's have another flame fest...) back and forth, calling an upgraded OS like 1.3 obselete and antiquated is plain rhetoric, probably to justify the fact that it is probably no longer cost effective to support it. Since 2.0 only runs on the 3000 as yet, I have to wonder how all those 2[05]00 owners feel about having an obselete, unsupported and antiquated OS? Seriously, I'm concerned that this all or nothing approach to upgrades might become prevalent. It implies that design decisions may be taken that ignore optimum life-cycle for the small system owner. To whit: the investment of 4-5 K over 3-5 years. neil
