Bruce,
I tend to agree with you about waiting for 6.0.
It seems that 6.0 is fairly stable but it is too early to tell.
You know, the problem with leading the charge is all of the arrows you
get in your back.
Cy, theAncient One...

Well, the version of JAWS at work is under a completely different
license,
and thankfully all updated without a hitch. I was debating whether or
not
to call FS and try to arrange for another auth disk or something to
replace the one at home which isn't being accepted, but with all the
headaches I've been having this month with electronics, I really didn't
feel like dealing with FS support. So I think, much as it irks me, I'll
wait until March and just PRAY that FS resolved my SMA issue and I will
get the ILM version to which I'm entitled.
