Ours has already stated the cost of upgrading to (if memory serves) an

[For those of you who haven't guessed from the sarcasm, I really rather like
DEC, but often find their business practices doubtfull, inadvisable and
showing a lack of rather **basic** marketing insight. I used to work the
other side of the fence and ended up having to swot up on non-profit
organizational marketing... which may make me unusually unkind to fools]
