I just hung up on them. > I remember that :).... $1275 (RRP) for TCP .... $1275 for NFS.... hahaha I think it was a bit like buying a car; What?? You want wheels! (TCP) and Seats??? (NFS) ..... Sorry this model does not come with an air-bag!!! (Source). Although we do provide break-down assistance (Loads of Patches). They even charged you more if you got the OS on 1/4 " tape, rather than floppies... (so of course the customer bought the floppy version.) I was always delighted when on disk 13 of 43 floppy disks .... "I/o error unable to read distribution floppy" :() ...(did not get SCO on CD back then) The good old days... ;) I must absolutely agree "their marketing sucks" big time... I still think Microsoft owns 40% of SCO?! You'd think the marketing would have been as slick as MickySoft! Or was it deliberate sabotage?
