Bruce and Rick,
It isn't even like FS is even acknowledging the existance of some of the
stability issues and the blank virtual buffers. It would be somewhat
different if they would just admit there are issues and explain to us, even
if in broad strokes, what they're doing to fix them in a future version.
Instead, many of us have gotten either canned responses or nothing at all
from technical support.

Boy, promises that don't get delivered on. Sounds awfully familiar from a
recent discussion on another list to which you whined incessantly.
