I found out this is just the tip of the iceberg. The rest is coming in a couple weeks. They say they "fixed" it this time, but I got a dollar that says a deaf, dumb, and blind customer could price and explain it better than what we will get from Tivoli. I have no idea why they will not ask a few customers under non-disclosure to review and critique what is going to be announced before they do it.
