I've found, for the most part, that the 2.0b1pre is, IMO, more stable than 2.0a. With the exception of one or two instances, the 2.0b1pre has been pretty solid & I use it on 4 production machines. I of course have 1.1.17 also installed as a backup, but so far the only time that I ever fire up 1.1.x anymore is to test something. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
