NCR may consider it a "deal" to reduce the license fee for current
customers, but I consider it a rip-off.  As far as I am concerned, the
cost should be the same $250 media charge as previous upgrades.  This 
seems like another way to nickel-and-dime us to death.  The result of this
policy could very well be that they end up with two sets of customers to 
support, V.2 and V.3.  They have made this same mistake over and over 
in the mainframe systems.  I railed against the policy then, and will 
continue to do so.  In my judgement, it will cost them more in dollars
and customer good will than they can possibly gain in revenue.

If this 'flame' upsets anyone, I apologize.
