Jerry I take issue with that. I asked several times was there an upgrade
path , each time I never got a stright answer. That is unethical. He could
have easlly passed the call up the line , ar at least offered to find out
and gotten back to me. an "I don't know" by its self is not proper. I can
unsderstand it oonce , but to have it happen several times is unaccptable.
Look at the number of post on this issue , you can see there is a problem.
Matter of fact , I am not aware of any one from suse following the list ,
usualy some one will step in and try to find out what happend , and offer
some sort of resolution.
