I use it from home ALOT and as fast as broken things get fixed, especially
the REALLY annoying ones <g> I want to get the latest and greatest as soon
as it's posted. So, the flip side of updating once a week is that you
might have to suffer for a week to get what you need, when it was posted
the same day you searched for it but weren't notified. It really doesn't
take that long... I'm impatient as the next guy, but this aspect has never
bothered me, and I <REALLY> want people to get their system the way they
want it soonest so I'm not up to my neck in support requests!! <cackles>
The development team here bust can to get get updates out the door, so you
should be able to get them as soon as you can. IMHO, the way it's being
done is the best way, for you and us. Enjoy! Ric
