Hi John

What good is that? It took me 7 years just to be able to upgrae to
10.0 it will take that long again just to upgrade, am I supposed to wait?

Also, I have never heard of applications mode, I found it frustrating
and if I run into it I'll just close down the page and leave, how
many others will do the same?

cheers

Geof
