One of the larger differences between the 6.0.x versions and 7.0 is that Apple says that they plan to seed every developer with 7.0. This was not the case at any time in the past. Giving a few thousand developers a few months to test it will (hopefully) insure a much more stable release than was the case when a few dozen (or hundred) got a couple of weeks to test something. -- Dennis Cohen Claris Corp. **************************************************** Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed above are _MINE_!
