Got 5.1.2 today, so should I install it? (was RE: [WDSCI-L] 5.1.2 not quite ready for prime time)

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

All,

Got 5.1.2 delivered today, wondering if I should install it or wait awhile
longer.

I know Joe's not particularly impressed and I've seen posts from others
regarding problems.  So I'm, leaning toward waiting.

But I've got somebody wanting to start using WDSc, I'd prefer to start them
out on the current version.


So I thought I'd kick this question out and see how happy the rest of you
are with 5.1.2.

Thanks in advance,
Charles
