Re: twinax cards

James,

Perhaps you are selling new product like hotcakes to people running V2R3, 
however I doubt it.

There is a lot to the stone knife philosophy that if I can cut down a tree 
with it why do I need a chainsaw?  However I like to use the new features, 
etc of the newer operating systems.  And often I am quite vexed by vendor 
products that cater to obsolete operating system versions to the detriment 
of everyone else.

I did like your comments in the earlier message.

Why? Why does everything have to be the "latest and greatest"?

At Touchtone, we don't have a single product requiring anything beyond
V4R2, and QuestView, our flagship product, will run quite happily on
anything from a V2R3 machine (albeit with slower response times, and with
some of the advanced features quietly disappearing) to V5Rwhatever, and
will make use of a number of post-V2R3 OS features if it finds them.

Like another list member just said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
