My desire to migrate to 7.3.2 has little to do with PRETTY and a lot to
do with FUNCTION. 7.2.x allows you to get your job done much like a
hammer will allow you to hammer 1,000 nails vs a Nail gun. We want the
reports, we want the tape sorting to work, we want so many things that
the pretty GUI can provide.

<On the eve of my sexual harassment class>
Don't allow the fact that the GUI looks great in dress numb the fact
that she is quite functional too. <Grin> /ALE
