No kidding!! Nobody has said the update to 2.0 won't work; there's no
documentation for it yet, that's all. So there might be a new YUP package
you have to d/l first, as far as I can tell this is all we're talking about
here, not saying you have to toss your 2.0 CDs and go buy new ones. Ever
done an update from MacOS 6.x to MacOS 7.x? Remember the problems? MacOS
7.1 - 7.5? Remember the problems? MacOS 7.5 to MacOS 8? 8 to 8.5? And
so on, and so on. Yes, it 'works'. No, it doesn't work 100%. Terrasoft
is saying "Hold off, we haven't tried that 100% yet, we'll tell you how to
do it and what to expect". Who runs a server and updates to the latest
version the first week it comes out unless they've got major problems with
their old one? WHY would you do that? Testing???
