Don't you just love customer support? ;-)

I've never heard of a software company that would give you the source
then not let you change it.
Usually they just won't support it after it's been modified.  You
wouldn't happen to running BASIC would you?

I've still got four customers running 5363's.  Even if I spread the cost
of upgrading their software to handle a window of time, the OS will
flake out on them.  It's going to be cheaper for them to get a 436 or a
model 150.

I've still got a 5363 in my office at home...don't use it any more, but
don't have the heart to pull the plug..sort of like pulling the plug on
an old friend. :_(
