I'm running 25 regions and plan to ad an additional 25 by November. I completely gave up on trying to figure out 0.6.6 since there was no useful documentation for it.
I still run 0.6.5.1 and it has continued to perform for me without any issues. I now understand why IT departments wait a few years (often) before adopting an upgrade to Windows, for example. Wait til all the bugs are out before adopting the upgrade. - Len On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 12:24 PM, Dickson, Mike (ISS Software) < [email protected]> wrote: > I have to agree.
