Hey! My A/UX Update Service Agreement is scheduled to expire 6/30/91 so I,
of course, went to order an extension/renewal...

Lo and behold, I'm told that Apple no longer provides this service!

That seems kinda low-end to me... there should be SOME kind of upgrade/
maintenance service available instead of forcing users to shell out major
bucks (and paperwork too, especially in the gov't) to buy updates.

Bad move :(

What's next, the Technical Answer Line...?
