I've got to say your 100% right what with V3 and the others all needing
updates straight away to work as they should its bad. I've gone back to NC2
for some stuff like AmFTP to work as they should. I don't think I should have
got the update till it was sorted, but it could have been chicken and egg no
updates till folk buy.
But I'm going to have a play with the new stuff on NC3 like metalweb and we
shall see.
Cheers all the best
Ken
