Reminds me of that Sun Microsystems TV commercial where the guys are
robbing the bank to pay for their bunsiness' Microsoft upgrades.  Their
parting comment as they left the bank was "See you again in six months".

I really do not see why anyone needs Microsoft anymore now that you can
get an Ultra-5 with Solaris-7 for $2500. Might as well move up to the big
leagues at that price.
