Yup. :) Actually, what I do is run one release behind whatever the latest is. I wait for everyone else to try out the latest, fall over all the bugs, while I just work around the known ones. I can then come in at a civilised hour of the morning, and read the reports in this list of all the bugs in the latest that kept people up to all hours of the night. I then stare out the window and think, "I won't be running *that* version, then." :) Comes down to good business. Don't take any risks you don't know. A release full of problems that are all known is far better than a release whose problems aren't... Cisco have tried this on me too, mind you - I have a 7513 which has had a fair bit of trouble, and the first thing their TAC tried on me was, "have you considering upgrading to 11.2.9?" I just said show me a config from someone else with a 7513 running what I am and running 11.2.x with an uptime of many weeks and I'll do it. They couldn't show me that - so why should I take the risk? - -- Josh Bailey (<A HREF="mailto:joshb@xtra.co.nz">mailto:joshb@xtra.co.nz</A> - GroupWise <A HREF="mailto:j6bw@telecom.co.nz">mailto:j6bw@telecom.co.nz</A>) Internet Network Specialist Voice (DDI): +64-9-355-5923 Telecom Internet Services Voice (Mob): +64-25-514-899 Extension: 93423 (Lvl. 4, 120 Mayoral Dve) Fax: +64-9-355-5260 Private Bag 92028, Auckland, NZ Pager: +64-26-114-448 PGP public key available at <A HREF="http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/pks-commands.html">http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/pks-commands.html</A> DISCLAIMER: Viewer discretion is advised. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBNGOC5Ple+GEe9W4hAQEe4wL/XsVX9eL/6d2b7HEU9kUsNNBsBfCRUEyO PFylrHJXftoK84i61svo/YCITJUtYTpljFOtfgoyRYCqAQBP7EjPfLwl5FRE9TeR OISNFmjPrmmm7PPsM4GZ7Ujp6OFFWFCA =aNOZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10557.html">Re: (ASCEND) Ascend stock</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Jason Nealis <nealis@babylon.erols.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10501.html">Re: (ASCEND) Ascend stock</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Jason Nealis <nealis@babylon.erols.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10543.html">(ASCEND) Problems configuring MAX 4004 for 56k</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10542.html">(ASCEND) Max4048 authentication problems/Disconnect</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10513.html">Re: (ASCEND) Ascend stock</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10557.html">Re: (ASCEND) Ascend stock</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#10553"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd230.html#10553"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
