No.  Simson & Michael did a nice job of simultaneously discussing a 2.x
and a 3.0 environment, and I believe their supplied code works just fine
under 2.x.  I was expressing my personal opinion that, from a programmer's
perspective, 3.0 offers so much more in terms of functionality than 2.x
that if you want to do serious hacking, you need 3.0.  I seem to be one 
of the few people that hasn't been bitten badly by bugs in the current 
release of 3.0 - it's been quite stable for the sorts of things I want
to do.  I'm also doing things that just weren't possible under 2.x (writing
a lot of IB palettes which take advantage of all the public IB protocols, 
3D Kit stuff, etc.).

Hope that clears up any confusion I might have generated.
