Oh, drat!  This may be my fault.

From 5.2 (or was it 5.1) onward, I bought the full boxed version 
of every release until 9.3 Pro. That was the very first time that 
I "went cheap" and purchased just the Upgrade box set.

That was it... I was the straw that broke the camel's back. 
The counter ticked over and SuSE/Novell said: "Looks like 
the ratio of Full-version purchasers to Update-only purchasers 
has tipped. It's time we pared-down the physical offering."

Terribly sorry. Selfish of me, and they appear to have caught 
me on it.........  ruined it for everybody...

Kevin (who liked the plastic _badge_ that he got in an early package, 
better than the mere stickers that have come with the recent releases....
ok, yes I am teasing)
