I was wondering, what if we tried going after this point through convergent?
Since they built the machine, it would seem that they have to have the 
software and licences too.  Possibly they would be easier to deal with.

I am aware that companies find it poor practice to support a product that
they no longer produce... however, if I had bought mine at full price (which I
thought was a good deal) I would be more than a little pissed off right
now.

On a side note (according to last weeks Infoworld) Sun is starting to find
just how hard it is to work with a big company (such as AT&T).  It will
be interesting to se how this impacts their current arrangement...
