Re: V3R6 -> Y2K?

David,

Uhh, what do you have to pay to upgrade from v3r6 to v3r7?  I thought it was
free or nearly free.  Or is it that v3r6 is no longer supported and you lost
your "free upgrade" window?

Is the "important stuff" dependent on date arithmetic?  What's the worst that
would happen if the "important stuff" failed?  Would the company close doors?
Or would you just not be able to create that bowling league sheet? ;-)

As I said ... upgrading it is not an option ... the system is scheduled to
be retired (I don't think it's even on service) and we're not going to pay
to upgrade it and then shove it out the door two months later.

Any ideas of how it would react to being taken back in time a few months?
