Unfortunately, there is no refund if you "downsize" to a smaller
system !

And, yes, this has been beaten to death before however, it probably
doesn't hurt to let new users know when deciding to purchase a new
report writer, for example, to be warned that certain vendors do gouge
for upgrades once they are tied in to their product (no, I didn't
mention the "C" word but then I guess that kinda defeats what I just
said....Is it Friday already?).
