IMHO, discussing problems with SC 2.1 is like discussing problems with
Excel release 4, or Lotus123 version 1.1(not very fruitful). When I buy
software I always expect that future upgrades will make my present version
more obsolete, so I anticipate on upgrading-even if it costs a few bucks.
If I want to be knowledgable about a software product, I eventually upgrade
to the most recent release.
And yes, I will finally be upgrading my TS 3.51 to TS 5.0(whenever they
decide to release it).

Pierre,
I am afraid your ethics are not up to the standard that you try to
enforce here from time to time (copyrights etc.).

I wonder how many SCs they would have sold if they had
printed on the package:
BUY NOW ! THIS PRODUCT IS USELESS AFTER THE 31.12.1999
UNLESS YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN HISTORIC MARKET DATA !

No - the ethics remain the same. What you fail to understand is that
it doesn't matter how much the program costs.
Even if it was just a dollar. If it doesn't deliver you can go after
them.
Pierre, regarding this SC 2.1 Y2K problem:
Suppose someone bought the program because of the capabilities
which it is not supposed to have (in your opinion) - Omega never said
that the program was to be crippled - it was sold "as it was" with no
time limit - and he does not want to "upgrade" to 3.0 and he wants to
use the program after 2000.
I would think he would have a pretty good case on his hands to demand
a Y2K upgrade.
BTW: I am pretty sure that Omega will come up with some solution in order
to calm down their investors.
Sincerely,
Gerrit Jacobsen
