I just got my SR10 distribution, but haven't bothered to unpack it yet
as I am not up to dealing with a whole new set of bugs ... and now
you tell me that I can't run (much less develop) my GMR based software
on SR10 unless I go out and buy a GMR license?

WHY IN HELL DIDN'T THEY TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY ASKED ME WHAT
DISTRIBUTION MEDIA I WANTED!!!!

As has been already pointed out, why would I buy a graphics workstation
that doesn't have graphics software? Do I need to buy GPR, too, or is 
that still bundled with the OS?

Does anyone else have the feeling that Apollo is being run by some
really outstandingly STUPID S.O.B.'s?

I'm also hearing a rumor that the diagnostics in the /sau directories
became unbundled (or will soon become unbundled). Can anyone who has
actually unpacked SR10 confirm or deny this? (and possibly stave off
another round of flaming from this corner)
