Doing that now is just making things way too confusing. Back then the vast majority of the community showed disapproval for even that new naming scheme, but the wishes of the community were ignored and the new naming scheme went ahead anyways. I doubt anything different will happen now.> Yeah, I know most people are going to call it 8.1,That's because it *is* 8.1 and calling it 8 (1911) is just confusing and ridiculous. Peter
