We've had the opportunity to knock around with the new GUI on 5210R for 
a little over 24 hours now under beta, and in my opinion, it's a big 
improvement!   Kudos, and THANK YOU, Michael, for bringing the new GUI 
to 5210R.    That's a big deal to those of us who, for various reasons, 
make a conscious decision to stick with the platform.

Just for purposes of clarification (and correct me if I'm wrong) I 
understand that packages under current subscription will update just 
fine.   However, if a server does not have an active subscription 
(either via extended support of an individually purchased PKG or via 
current BOPE/BOEE subscription) then the PKG as installed on 5210R with 
old GUI (Adminica) that upgrades to new GUI (Elmer) will not function 
correctly in the GUI.   It will need to be re-purchased.   Is that 
correct?   (BTW, I think that's certainly fair.)

In short?  OH YEAH!   We like it!

Thank you, again, for the efforts to port the new GUI to 5210R. It's 
made the interface much faster, more streamlined, and far more modern 
feeling.
