If, after a while, you entertain the idea to upgrade your machine
(Wife, version 1.0), I can verify for you that the upgrade is expensive
as version 1.0 doesn't stop requiring maintenance fees even tho
version 2.0 is now installed.

The upgrade is survivable, I'm on version 4 myself.

A good friend of mine has been between V. 1.0 and V. 2.0
for quite a while now. It's been excruciating for everyone involved.

SWMBO and I are crazy about everyone in his family and we are
saddened to think of the pain they are all suffering.
