[comp.windows.x] More on SCO XENIX upgrade...

ptran@hydra.unm.edu (Michael Burg) (04/06/91)

I'm back with more proof on the SCO XENIX upgrade....As I expressed on the
previous comment about getting the SCO XENIX from a friend of mine.  Now we
found the *ORDER*.  Based on the order he purchased

SCO XENIX 386			$919.00
VP/IX UNLIMITED USER LICENSE	$575.00
SCO WINDOWS			$400.00
NETWORK 1 SERVER		$360.00
SCO MANAGER FOR 386		$400.00

		TOTAL		$2654.00

Now they are very *unhappy* to allow me upgrade to version 2.3.2 with 50% off
that means I have to pay at least $1,327.00 for upgrade to version 2.3.2 when
*EVERYTHING* is still in *BOXES*.  They give me 50% off with my threat to post
my feeling toward SCO altitutes on the net.  Thanks to the *POWER OF THE NET*.

I'm expressing my feeling to my friend, and he is thinking about upgrading it
for me.  However, to my personal feeling, I think SCO should *REMOVE* their
ads on *PCWEEK* and *UNIX TODAY* magazines.  When I read their ads, It sounds
so *GREAT* to me, but now whenever I see their ads I think they cheated us
the customers.

Does any SCO outhere would like to comment on this????????

I bought a 1986 Volvo brand new back in 1986.  As it happens, I was busy with
other things and did not drive it.  Now I have time to drive it, but the SOBs
want to charge me an arm and a leg for a 1991 Volvo.  Should I sue them, make
an ass of myself on the net flaming away, or remember not to buy what I don't
need or be willing to pay the penalty?
