Gosh, just realised it is almost 10-years since RDi 7.1 was announced,
(29th January 2008).

If memory serves correctly, this was the first incarnation of the
unbundled product, which required a separate licence. (It's forerunner,
WDSc 7.0 was part of the server-bundled software, 5xxx-WDS.

A decade has flown by - and we're _still_ trying to convince folk to
adopt it!
