Re: Fed up with green screen plodders

Get the memory, and get V7.   It's a no addl charge item, so why stay on
V5?  V7 is smaller, faster, and less buggy.  Unless they are doing web
"stuff", they (you) can start with just RSE installed.  V7 will also run
on a lot less memory than V5.

Having used V5, I found it hard to get the SEU users moved - its just
too slow.   V7 is working much better.
