Why are they using R:Base?  Very simple!   I wrote that app for them back in 
2004 when 7.1 was released, and it has been ROCK SOLID every day since then.   
Would this client notice any difference if  I upgrade them to 7.6?   It's a 
tiny database, they have no clue what an r> prompt is, have asked me to do no 
more than about 10 hours of work total over the past 4 years (no hours at all 
in 2008).   I'm sure they would want to see some "bang" for their upgrade 
bucks.  I'll tell them to go ahead and get a new server and take their chances. 
  
If 7.1 does not run well, then for sure they will have to upgrade!    Hate to 
wish bad luck on them, but .....
