Any specific areas where more bugs appear? Eg. I'd bet traditional vs. widescreen have less bugs in comparison to the combined view, because they're nearly identical. However the many variable summary options are a major drag when in modes ⌘1&2. Then of course there are display layouts, show/hide sources, all kinds of things we envision for Letters too. While the general warning has been heard, I'd be curious about particular horror stories. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
