Folks, I know you hear this all the time but it bears repeating.
 
UPGRADE TO THE CURRENT VERSION!
 
I am interested in hearing why folks are not running v6.02. There is no good
reason that I know of to NOT upgrade. If you are on version 6 already, the
upgrade is free. (Isn't free upgrade from v5.1 also?)
 
The point is, you are doing yourself, your company, and your users a
disservice. You are making your life more difficult and limiting the
functionality, flexibility and resilience of your systems management
platform. To coin a phrase some vendor is using now "the network IS the
product"
 
Make the boss buy you a test box, get the new version shipped and get
upgraded! It doesn't hurt! You won't get a rash! The interest rate is well
below prime! Its endorsed by the ASPCA, NRA, NIH and beautiful
spokes-super-models-persons and super-star athletes everywhere! UPGRADE
UPGRADE UPGRADE!
 
===> This has been a public service announcement designed to save James and
Leslies sanity. Thank you.
