Most people who mention it to you will not be so polite as I am being now. Jerry -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Anna EdwARds <ash.1574@hotmail.com> > > Yeah. Firefox 3 was done at alpha 3 (when i never hit a bug again and it pa? ssed the atom2 test) but i want to know why they made so many unnecessary c? hanges to beta 1. Who is in need of whatever cruddy undergrown super cool t? hing? I said the exact same thing when microsoft implemented css support in? to their trident engine. Just like i say microsoft needs to have added rss ? into their engine before now. If they are going to add some major new fetu? re, prolong the release as long as it takes to be sure that it is mostly bu? g free then prolong it another month for compatibility checking. If problem? s appear there prolong it longer. Microsoft should learn to do just that n? exT time. Also, dont just start over when you get a quality product. > > _____________________________ > Sent from my phone using flurry - Get free mobile email and news at: http:/? /www.flurry.com > > --- Original Message --- > Date: Sat May 03 12:17:41 PDT 2008 > From: Pastor JW > To: "Ubuntu user technical support, > not for general discussions" > Subject: Re: Alpha, beta, .... > --- > > On Saturday 03 May 2008 11:18:00 am Sandy Harris wrote: >> Is there a way to find out which pieces of 8.04 are >> in what state?
