Dear chris & Group,

I share your appreciation for Omega support, in general.  They have always
been there when I needed them: prompt, courteous, helpful.

And ... as a loyal user of TS ver 3.5, I regret that Omega has determined
not to provide a Y2K fix for TS versions below 4.0.  Therefore, according to
Loren Costantino (800 556-2022), executive assistant to Bill Cruz, all
versions of TS below 4.0 will no longer work on and after Jan 1, 2000, and
if one wishes to use TS thereafter, one must use ver 4.0 or later.  This is
not what I would call "support of legacy versions."

We pre-version 4.0 users have 20 months remaining.  Then it's sayonara.

Sincerely,

Richard Josslin
