But less than the price of a Courier to the tune of about 40 quid.

Yes. If you want futureproof you're supposed to shell out the extra 40 
quid for a Courier, for which the only difference is essentially the 
Flash EPROM.

You say you want a 56K upgrade because you've spent more than the 100 
quid that you could have got a cheap modem for, but what of those of us
who spent more than *you* to get an upgradable one (my Courier was about 
270 quid when I got it)? Don't you think the Courier owners will be 
equally displeased when they find they could have got away with a cheap 
Sporster that's *also* upgradable to 56K?

Try thinking outside your own existence, eh?
