  • Subject: V2R3 to V3R2 upgrade sticker shock
  • From: Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 11:21:37 -0400

I just got off the phone with my friendly hardware/software vendor.  I was
inquiring on a price to upgrade my E04 from V2R3 to V3R2.  After I got up
off the floor I verified that I did hear hime correctly that the price would
be over $9000 for 5 users!!!!

We are a very small company and have a RISC model 400 running V3R6 (release
7 is sitting in the box ready to be installed) so we have little incentive
to spend that much money for the upgrade.  The only real function I want
with the new realease for the "white" box is TCP/IP untilities.  

Could this really be true??  Is IBM crazy or am I just being pennywise &
pound foolish???  Is there any other alternative???  I have tried to order
the TCP/IP utilities for V2R3 and was told they are not available anymore.
How much do you guys with BIG systems pay for the upgrade.

Regards,
Carl
