I'm not a Manx user, so this is just a philosophical comment, but, it's been my experience that if you intend to continue using a product at all, it's a very good idea to keep up with the current releases. You will, at some point, run into something in your version that gives you trouble, and, since the work-arounds for older versions tend to be forgotten very quickly, about the only help you'll get is to suggest that you upgrade to the current version. Also, my experience with all types of software providers has been that their first response to any problem you're having (whether it's a legitimate response or not) is to tell you that you have to upgrade to the current version of the software and then ask again if you're still having the problem. Just a thought. 8)
