Hello Rob

one question and one comment.

Ed believes that all the fixes and enhancements released for 5.1 will also 
be released for 5.0 is this true. Not much of an issue for us and we skipped 
5.0 for those servers we could upgrade. At the time 5.0 seemed very buggy.

So far I have a good feeling for version 6 as the product does not seem on a 
rushed push to market as 5 seemed to have been. Hopefully it will be a very 
stable version. We should know in a few months.
