Brad,

Like I stated before the deal was $3500 for the upgrade and $1500 for a year 
of maintenance. Regrettably I left out the time frame that I received the 
quote and that was late Nov early Dec., whenever the announcement was that 
there was an AD 6 vs. an SP5.

Sorry if I left out a detail or two.

Joe
