10.2.8 is an update/patch, whatever... even if there is a list of fixes, there are almost always things that were fixed/improved that were not listed... you want to be up to date, IMO... one thing about update/patches is there is rarely a negative speed hit. You may see something like that on a major upgrade like the upcoming Panther, because it is adding a bunch of new capabilities to the OS. I thought your question was quite clear and I hope my answer was clear also. Paul On Tuesday, October 21, 2003, at 01:15 AM, Donald Hinkle wrote: > OK.
