I have some comments regarding Mike's poll. These are my thoughts:

- Mike and the rest of us know all about the MOVER fiasco. If you
  tried to use web to download patches and had a problem with MOVER
  we appologize. Sorry! MOVER is not part of the future plan. The
  important thing is to understand if there are other problems, and
  other things that need to be improved. If you had a problem due
  to MOVER, and that soured you, the question is will you come
  back and try again with the MOVER issue resolved?

- If you are using AUTOPAT, then tell us WHY! The standard answer
  is something like "I tried Patch/iX (once), it didn't work, I'm
  sticking with AUTOPAT." There have been lots of problems fixed in
  Patch/iX. Mike and his team are trying to understand what else
  needs to be fixed. The team in place want to understand the
  impediments to acceptance. Help him to understand your Patch/iX
  issues -- don't assume they won't get addressed.

- IMO, Stage/iX is truely a "better way to apply patches" (vs tapes).
  The key to Stage/iX success lies in Patch/iX accpetance (Patch/iX
  it the only patch tool which supports Stage/iX).
