So the company (IMHO) screws me and I'm supposed to go right back
at it? Not a chance. If my software (I use a few packages) isn't
upgradable, I go elsewhere. I've always wanted to use that PPC network
I have access to anyway...
Besides, what's to stop them doing it again?
Full price to 5.0 anyone?
I'm steamed.
I'm going to write letters to magazines...
I'm going to post in every relevant news-group...
I'm going to get Snarky...
