I know that it is not appropriate to some newsgroups to post this, but I hope
that you all may know about SCO XENIX and the power of the net.

I recently got a SCO XENIX from a friend of mine who purchased in 1989; however,
he has *NOT* even opened the package to install on his PC.  I called SCO company
to ask if they can allow to upgrade from version 1.1.0 (too old) to the new
version (2.3.2).  First, Doug Mcclenvon does not allow me to have it upgrade
because SCO POLICY said that the version 1.1.0 is too old EVEN IT HAS NOT
OPENED yet.  This is outrage since it has not opened that is why my friend
does not upgrade it.  Because it has not used that is why my friend does not
know how *GOOD* the SCO XENIX is.  The reason is that he is too busy working
on his project for the last 2 years.

After Doug told me, I'm a bit upset.  I told him that I will post this on the
net for everyone to know about SCO, he came back and told me that for my SAKE
he accepts this time with 50% off the purchased new version price, and I have
to send every dammed things to SCO.

Well, I read someone posted on comp.windows.x mentioned about the *VERY
HELPFUL* from SCO.  But to me, it is *VERY SUCKED*,  I think I go and do my
project on the SUN rather than getting the *VERY SUCKED SCO XENIX*.

My friend he paid about $2,500 for everything TCP/IP, Compilers ....And now
it is going to be trashed because I don't have that much of money to afford
one.  And they don't allow to upgrade with lower price or exchange the old
version for the new version with the price different or a little charge.

I don't think I will ever want to use SCO XENIX anymore unless they come back
and give me a better deal.  Because I don't have 1,250 bucks to upgrade!!!!

Now I know how helpful the SCO is!!!!!
