True, but it seems many folks won't put themselves into a position to deal with it at 
all when they  
see all these 0.x versions.  When i first started researching open source projects a 
couple years 
ago, I thought "What the heck?  Does no one have a stable program finished?"
It took a while before i got over the belief that anything below 1.0.1 was buggy and 
not worth 
the trouble.   I feel the majority of people who are stuck in that mindset, as I was, 
will have a 
hard time seeing the truth...and be more inclined to stay with their current OS and 
applications, 
believing them to be more stable.



hey...my first post =o)
