Well, I may be in the minority, but from what I read and what I hear, it's not a tiny minority. I guess it's just as easy to blame the user as it is to blame the manufacturer, and the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, but I have some of the same issues on all 3 systems that I run. I am the first to admit that I am not a guru, but I shouldn't have to be. If I own a car, and I maintain it properly, I should be able to expect that when I turn the key in the ignition, that the engine will start and the car will run. I don't think that many people would drive if cars were so unreliable that one would have to worry every time they got into the car as to whether it would start, how far it would go before the engine stalled, etc. In closing, I will just say that these developments trouble me because I have been a loyal GW customer since I bought Vocal Eyes in 1992.

Do you think it possibly could be something on your pc? I'd say most of the rest of us feel it's as stable as it ever was, and the benefits of the scripting is just enormous.
