I've been using 6.0.7 on my SE/30 since 6.0.7 became available, and have yet to have a single problem. Of course, I avoid Microsoft products like the plague, so I'm sure that helps :) >I don't want to imply that I know more than others on this topic, but >literally the reverse.

I suspect that most of the problems people have reported are not bugs in system software, but bugs in applications which didn't show themselves in previous system releases for one reason or another. Just because it used to work and it doesn't any more, you can't leap to the conclusion that the system software is broken. >(I could call Apple, but I'd rather wait until I know where this info >came from.) >-- >James L.
