Thus far 'folks' can only refer to me, since Andrew's comments related
to Trinidad compatibility. I'm fine with your assessment though! :) It's
really just a 'hot button' of mine.
'you need to upgrade', but they could turn around and tell me they
don't want my business
The operative word here is "could". If you explain to them what the
ramifications of their choices are and they still make bad decisions,
then you must decide if their business is worth your trouble and charge
them accordingly. The point is that way too many times these bad choices
are more a function of poor communication than merely inane business
decisions. IME, lots of 'mom-n-pop' shops will make the right choice
when presented with all of the information (even some gov't departments
have!). Make sure that all of the stakeholders know what the issues are
before giving in to inertia.
