A version placed earlier on these networks on 6/13/86 have errors and should not be used. while I agree that the more hands the software passes through, the greater the likelihood of a bad modification. However, let's not go overboard in trusting "Big Brother" not to make errors. Oh, and in case *YOU* have a method for making sure that *YOUR* copy is definitely error-free, I think Apple would like to offer you lots of $$$ to certify that for their next release.
