The final code is only shipped four weeks before announcing EOL and requiring that you upgrade to the latest untested beta. Rather like their latest Bend Over licensing. _________________________ ========================== the chewtoy for the dog of Life

oliver addict Registered: 02/04/2002 Posts: 691	Patched up my dev server, my production webserver, production sql farm, and my pdc and bdc. So far without any problems, i did create backups on tape, and also backup old files just in case i needed to uninstall. i will keep the sping going, and i'll update if one of my servers explode _________________________ Oliver mk1 30gb: 129 \| mk2a 30gb: 040104126

caseyse member Registered: 07/10/2000 Posts: 112 Loc: CA, USA	"Gates of Borg" OS/2 Magazine was selling a poster of Gates outfitted as the Borg back in '94 "Resistance is Futile". What a classic. DarkStorm was near the mark "If I ever see Bill Gates... I will kill the SOB" I would prefer seeing prolonged agonizing misery, Tower of London style.
