Lynn,

This is good point btw.

This is why I still suggest that customer should be able go directly to
Paradigma and purchase server.

Developer that do not want take care on above issues, may simply point
customer to Paradigma, like this do all developers who use MS SQL Server.
Only Microsoft sale SQL Server.
