Not really.  But here are a couple of my reasons....

* For the same reason I will upgrade to UNIFACE 8.3.01 from UNIFACE 8.2.03.
IE. It is the latest version of a technology/idea/methodology and I like
keeping up with the latest.  The only thing that will/may keep me from this
is the instability of such a new technology.  So, maybe 1 minor release
behind the latest release is a good goal to keep to.

* I used to be of the mind set that everything on the web is for sharing.  I
remember when things like veronica for gopher, archie for ftp, and such
things where around, the internet was a place that only had information.
That is all it had.  Information.  It was up to you, the seeker, to do what
you want with that information.  (well... this is how I saw it anyway. (and
a little diversion into memory lane for a moment))
... anyway, this is the same concept that I feel is coming back in the way
people want to set standards now - here comes XML / XHTML.
The fact that this concept that all _web_ *pages* on the internet are in
fact _information_ *pages* has really brought this idea back to the way the
internet was supposed to be (perhaps dangerous words - remember, this is my
opinion only).
I feel that all pages should be able to be *grabbed*, *redisplayed*, *used*,
etc (copyright and moral obligations not discussed here) at the seekers
will.  Remembering, that XHTML allows this to be done as data, and not
simply a pretty brochure.

This is my opinion... and my opinion has never been set in stone.

Why start a new thread when I specifically ignored the last, keep your
response in the same thread.

hmmm - Disco didn't start a new thread in the group although it may appear
like that in the archive and some news readers.  Merely a change of subject
header in this case.

Actually, I messed about with a setting in my client to make a new
thread if the subject header is changed. Mistake on my part.
