  In response to a few bug reports and complaints, perhaps i can offer some
insight or something cleverly helpful. Maybe not. 
  I was one of those insane individuals who downloaded 6.0.5 in a frantic
state of mind and installed it on the 30 Macs that i manage and my Plus at
 home all in pretty much the same day.  Since then i have hardly any bombs 
(my girlfriend and i use this Plus
about 5 to 8 hours per day) at home.  In fact, i'd say this is the most
dependable system release i have used yet.  I'm using, aside from normal system
documents:  Gatekeeper and Aid, versions 1.1.1 & 1.0.1 respectively.  Have been
trying Moire 3.02 and Boomerang for the last few days.  I also use Facade 1.0
and Suitcase II, version 1.2.6. 
   Again, i've had hardly any crashes- this has got to be the most trouble free
system i've seen yet.
   As for the system's i've installed at work, most are pretty plain, apple-
share workstations, with the addition of Moire 3.02, and LaunchBreak (Thanks
Dean and Dave, it's great!)  But again, these have been relatively trouble
free.  I haven't had to reinstall the System software on any machine yet, 
since i upgraded to 6.0.5.
	I hope this helps some people:  As you all probably noticed, i don't
run too many INITs.  This is mostly because i only have 2.5 MB of RAM here
 at home, but perhaps this is something to consider.  (Not to worship or 
anything.  I really wish i had more memory to run neat things like Sound Master
etc., but i don't, so i cant'. :)
