[time-nuts] Tymserve 2100 thinks it's 1995?

Hi,

>>>

You can claim that software costs nothing once you write the first copy. In the next breath we all expect

to get ongoing customer support for that software and (errrr ) patches for this and that. When a vendor

charges us by the year for that support we are unhappy.



Would I love to see all these 10 to 20 year old boxes running perfectly 20 years from now - sure.

It's a noble goal. I have a *lot* of boxes. With all the GPS issues in the past, and likely in the future - not likely to happen.

Of course, once the suppliers have decided they can't make any further money from it, it would be a nice goodwill gesture to make the software open source so that others can fix it if they want.
