Apologies, now you all know why I don't write books, and why you don't
see me listed as writing any of the documentation. I tend to confuse 75%
of any given group of people. (you can see how that gets hairy on a one to
one basis) :-)
Not knowing what you ordered from where, they'll probably send you a
windows disc..
I was told of the release mere moments before it hit slashdot, and was
only able to get the part of the files before the @home link to netscape
went down. Untill i get time to test them all on a 6.1 system, mine has
cooker on it right now, I still stand by "stick with what you've got,
unless it doesn't work at all". Of course if anyone does decide to upgrade
(its your system after all), This is the perfect place to discuss success
or failure as always..
