            God Dammit Apollo! Would you please stop jerking us
      paying customers around?!?!?!?!?!?!?

       We work hard on our graphics software, I put it in your
       stupid ADUS free software library, and you can't even
       give us the graphics support? What kind of jerks have you
       people turned into?

       Did the graphics developers have any say in this decision
       to charge extra for GPR?

       Charging extra for GMR 2D, and 3D have been bad enough, but
       now GPR?

       I'll bet you're about to pull one of those IBM/Microsoft moves
       and make the current GPR calls incompatible with the next
       version like you did with GMR2D, so that we'll absolutely
       have to buy it.

            I think I'm going to stop telling our potential Sun customers
      to consider Apollo before buying. Why should I do you people any more
      favors?

          A note to you Apollo R&D folks responsible for the development
      of GPR, GMR2D and GMR3D: I would like to hear from you on this net
      to explain whose brilliant idea this is, and whether you agree or
      not.
