However, it is my understanding that the branding process costs around $100,000 and I just don't see what a Unix 98 (BLECH!) brand would buy us. There may be a few pointy haired management type who might be impressed but the fact there is no support would nullify what ever might gain. If we ever had $100,000 to screw around with I'm sure we could find several better uses for the money than a Unix 98 branding.
