If you want reliability then jump from release to =20 > release. If you want reliability, then you need to do your own testing on your =20= own hardware on your own application prior to replacing your working =20 version with the new one. Never rely on anyone else saying "Yeah, it =20= will work". It will come back and bite you where you don't want to =20 be bit. The other side of this is "don't replace what works" and just leave =20 things as they are. --Apple-Mail-6--626283465--
