Its not everyday I reply to myself but circumstances merit so bear with me. Since I posted the above I've been contacted by Geoff Phillips of GSS regarding the initial information we received on the GB-1000 retrofit. While the original information conveyed the impression that continued support for the GB-1000 was conditional on the retrofit it is a relief to know that this is not the case, and the retrofit does not appear to be ploy to push upgrading to the GB-1200 - which was again my impression from the original information. It would have been nice however to have the retrofit covered by maintenance agreement, but there are many ideal things in the world that never happen and life goes on. -------------------------------------------- Steve Clarke Computer Services Manager Human Reproductive Sciences Unit (MRC) Centre for Reproductive Biology Chancellor's Building 46 Little France Crescent Edinburgh EH16 4SB Tel: +44 (0)131 242 6404 Fax: +44 (0)131 242 6409 -------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** MAIL SCANNED BY MAILSCAN ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE ********************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/
