If I remember correctly the main thing you would gain are smilies/rogues
and virtual folders. But better download, look at the changelog and try
for yourself.

RG I plan to install 3.x as a test over my 2.x install.

You can do that without any risk

RG Should I choose to stay w/ 2.x and not pay for the upgrade what is the
RG roll-back procedure?

Can't look in your wallet, when you test v3 you've got 30 days to
decide. You can downgrade any moment.

rg 1) Anyone care to comment ...

Well, I'll give it a try. Each person's needs and compelling reasons
are different. It depends on what you want. I have run v. 2.12.00 and
liked it very much, except for an unstable folder problem which turned
out to be something local to me, which I have since solved, and a
jumpy mail ticker, which is also local only to me and a couple of
other users.

I ran v. 2.06  and was entirely happy with it. I ran v. 2.ll.xx and
liked it also. I upgraded to 2.12.00 because I found that I enjoyed
seeing the pictures of my fellow posters in the headers.

rg 2.04.7 - the version I am (still) on
rg 2.11.02 - a version still available on the site for download
rg 2.12 - a version still available on the site for download

However, my choice was to purchase v. 3.0. Did that yesterday and I am
completely pleased so far with my own decision.

Since you seem to be ambivalent, my opinion is that you should
download and install v. 3.0 right over v. 2.04.7 (after making a
back-up, as is always prudent). If you don't like v. 3.0, then go get
v. 2.12.00 and try it. (Be sure to save your 2.xx.x key--I hope you
know where it is?) And if you don't like that, then go pick up v.
2.11.02.

As always, a person's decisions and the risks and rewards associated
with them come down to his own evaluation of a situation.

rg 2) I am also interested in trying out v3 *BUT* if I do not like it
rg is there a sane roll-back method?

In mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Roelof Otten gave you a very good answer to this question. Yes, you
can roll back, at least for now. And, further along, Lawrence Johnson
said that he had done this, installing v.2.12.00 directly over v. 3.0,
and then once more, installing 3.0 over that 2.12.00.
