Yeah, if I could have I would have sent my 286 Unix back for a refund once I 
upgraded to a different vendor's 386 version for sure.

See here, if you got use out of something for a goodly while, even if it's
still in perfect condition, as software would be, you can't really expect
to get your money back, or wouldn't everyone want their money back once
they were upgrading their systems, going to new software, etc?  Sure
they would, and how are your vendors supposed to make money, then?
