A member of Apple's Blue Meanies team, whose name I'd rather not give out because he wasn't speaking on behalf of the company and so on, told me that he thought 7.0b4 was more stable than 6.0.5 or 6.0.7. I'm running b4 right now and I tend to agree. I've had problems with one product, Farallon's SoundEdit 2.0.3, because it uses a customized Save dialog box. I've been assured that a new version will be available by 7.0's release, though. Go ahead and upgrade! If you keep using your Mac, you'll upgrade eventually anyway. -- Mark Wilkins -- ******* "Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude!" ********** *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* * Mark R.
