Don't worry - we'll sit it out til the product is remaindered and get 
it for UKL10 at the car boot sale. 

Pity they don't do like Borland and put the old version on cover disks, and
then offer an upgrade for UKL100.

Somehow, despite 50 years in the business, IBM don't seen to grasp the idea
that selling software successfully is all about volume - like develop it
once, and then flog the same thing 6,000,000 times.

Sometimes I wonder if their marketing team could p*ss in a pot!
