If you have a net connection. If you are only working from one machine. Then it doesn't matter. If I have to s=do several machines I order an current rev CD-R. The problem is I can;t be sure exactly what I will be getting. Is it 1.3.1 R2 from this week, or from last week. What about next week? >However, it was my understanding that the change from x.y.z to x.y revision >z was purely cosmetic.
