"There is no reason not to use it and every reason to. I have never experienced
any problems crashing with 6.0.7, and I am under the impression that people
that have such problems are encountering INIT and other program difficulties."
-resnick@cogsci.uiuc.edu

Well, I USED to run 6.0.7 on my SE/30, a machine which doesn't NEED 6.0.7,
only 6.0.5, but I got too many crashes, so I switched back. The problem was so
bad, that I used "Blesser", and if I had real work to do, I'd bless the
system folder with 6.0.5 to write a paper, for example.

In my book, encountering INIT and other program difficulties DOES count as a
pretty good reason not to run it since I don't need to. Funny, I had to do the
same thing when first getting 6.0.5; i.e. 6.0.3 was the "safe" system version
to be running...

I'm still holding my breath for 7.0....

[but for anyone who read my post in comp.sys.mac.hardware, yes it is true that
my SE/30 is temp. non-functional... maybe I ought to start looking in comp.sys
mac.wanted for good deals...;-) ]
