|| it was for 
|| Silver Support which no longer exists? and I pay for support 
|| but they 
|| desupport the products I have paid support for, and instead 
|| of giving me the 
|| new software release so that the support I paid for is still 
|| relevant, they 
|| will charge me for the update. And not give me a prorated refund.
|| 
|| Ya know, if I'm gonna get screwed I'd at least like to enjoy it
