Its pretty stable for an alpha release.
Hey thanks! I'll have to check that one out. I have IE6 installed (because I use windows '98). I have this program that resizes the browser window to different sizes without having to actually touch my monitor so that way I can see how something's going to look in smaller resolutions.

You can get that here if you're interested: http://rjlsoftware.com (it's free)

I always do. I use a screen reader myself, because I have to. I'm almost blind and have been this way my whole life.

Yeah, it has @ LOL. But, sometimes exchanges in forums mimic conversations in life and in the process other topics or key points brought into the mix are what help in the discovery and learning process. Helping someone else come to an understanding of something, always has a positive outcome.

If more people took the time to actually help someone, the world would be a much nicer place. If just one person paid that knowledge forward to at least 3 other people, and those people in return paid it forward to even one other person, each -- the benefits would be enormous.

That's why I like forums like this -- because they matter, and they make a difference.

OK ... I'm off my soapbox now. People that are selfish about their knowledge bother me.

Could you give me some positives to the purpose of SVN?
I'd be interested to hear about it too, please?
