I want to heartily endorse the sentiments expressed in the letter below. In my case, constraints of
processor speed, memory and disk space determine that, until I upgrade my entire system, I will need to
continue to use TS3.5 for the foreseeable future. I had considerable problems with the early version of the
server which was shipped with my original copy of TS early in 1995, but an Omega technical support
representative supplied me with a complete upgrade to a newer version of the program at no cost to me,
and did not even charge me for shipping. SInce then, I have had no problems at all running the software on
a 486DX66 with 20 megs of RAM, while simultaneously maintaining an internet connection and running my e-
mail program.
I do not believe I could do this with TS 4.0, even if I could find room on my hard disk to install it.
I, too, hope that Omega will continue to support this older release by making a patch available for the Y2K
problem.
