Yes, Duane, I understand that in reality SUP is a smoking demon from hell (pun
intended) that has been known to _sense_ demos and purposefully reduce your
carefully-tuned workstation to a pile of useless bits--sometimes _during_ a
demo.

However, I think it should be possible to do SUP more correctly, in such a way
as to reduce the frequency of such disasters.  I'm trying to make it sound
better than it is, so someone will be intrigued enough to try it.  Shhhhhh.

How about "Ralph Systemsmanager says you ought to have the new LaserWriter
driver.  Want me to install it?  [Yes] [No] [Cancel]"?
