But the level of noncomital information regarding new versions has always annoyed me. I have always wanted to use new versions. I have always been scared to death by the 'if you are serous - you may not want to use this' attitude. The result - you (FBSD) have a clean nose and I feel as if I am and have been behind for some time. Just a comment, not a complaint. You need to find a means to offer new versions that will at least work sooner. I have steadfastly stayed away from 5 for the longest time. It looks like I still need to. (You are still scaring people away with the - ... but maybe you better not use this ... approach :) ). I understand that you are ultra-con's. It just doesnt look like I will be using 5.anything anytime soon. :) I really do adore FBSD. But you guys scare me. (I have used FBSD pre-5 in many many systems - back to early 3 actually as I recall). Rant off. Thanks for all the great work. Honest. I'll check back sometime in 05. :) Thanks Jim
