The point is that the use of those terms is intended, and it illustrates a specific difference: "shiny new" often refers to products that _claim_ to be advanced or mature, or better or technically superior, while _not_ possessing that property; using actual words like "advanced", "mature", "secure", and the like _assures_ that those properies are present in a product. Reasoning: Just because a manufacturer claims his product is better, or because his product is newer, or because the product comes in a shiny package does _not_ prove, by any means, that the product actually _is_ better. Terminology, my dear Watson. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
