Why is this 'off-topic' here?

This is what I would consider a reasonable concern as the OP is worried 
that this will happen with the final release.  I'm interested as I have 
to go to an Internet Cafe to update my system and I would have to 
calculate how many beverages I would need to purchase before the upgrade 
is complete.  Yes, I do believe in giving them business while I'm using 
their service.  :)
