Cool. Thanks for the confirmation. I understand what's gone on a bit better now.

We'll be lucky if it's a low polynomial... but I think we agree thatthere is a relationship. > > - to get more users, there must be a slower, easier upgrade cycle. > > 'slower' is the wrong word.

I agree it's the wrong word (my English sucks sometimes... and I'm English... I'm always amazed how well later-learners speak it... anyway...) and updates should arrive as soon as possible, but I mean to convey that they should be *required* as late as possible. However lovely the software is, if it forces me to upgrade it daily in my own time or it'll break, it's not going to last long... and I suspect I'm one of the more stubborn and vocal, who'll stick with the software and grumble a bit. So yes, less pain, please! Glad to hear it!
