I bought a Supra Modem 2400 last year and am very happy with it.
My friend bought one this year and it has a lot of new features that
would be nice to have, so I called up Supra about a ROM upgrade.
They told me it'd be $40 to send me the new ROM!
Considering the modem can be bought for about $110 these days, I can't
see the validity of this price.
Is this indeed a sound marketing decision that just happens to bother me,
or is it just an attempt to take advantage of users who like keeping
up-to-date with their equipment?
