I also appreciate the posting of the links. The release list
has nothing 
of interest to me other than the Mac releases.

AnnI have been using the milestone releases of the Aqua
version. I like 
it much better than the X11 version and have had very few
problems with 
it. I'm looking forward to it using the native printing
dialogue - soon, 
I hope.

I thought that many people would have this opinion. Though I
do  
wonder if ordinary users are happy to hear about the
developer talk  
that goes on.

Unfortunately the good-day server wouldn't cope with the
demand with  
all the aqua milestones and all the interest that would be
generated.  
The mirror and bittorrent networks are needed (at least for
the most  
commonly requested builds).
