Ok, is the number that the sales operator gives me over the phone going
to activate the latest release of the product?   Very clever of them to
include the future works of their programmers on the release disk.

Oh, we will have to wait for the next 'official release' from NeXT that
includes this particular product?  No problem you say, the vendor will
just send the update out on a (gulp) $50 disk.

This is a serious concern.  How many products have a stable shelf life?
Certainly nothing being developed by the late night hackers at major
universities :-) :-) :-).
