There has been a 'no more upgrades till we know we have to do one' edict 
in place since the 4.1.1 upgrade unfortunately.  A log format change (at 
least, I think I remember that being it ...) meant that a dozen or so 
100+ page faxes were resent several times over.

Most of my scripts are now almost version independant (I believe) 
although there is a scheduled upgrade coming soon because the client is 
buying a new computer for this work.

PS, most of my clients are database clients who don't install new 
software on their computers more than once every 5 years -- and have 
never had to -- the 'upgrade regularly' concept means that the software 
wasn't good in the first place, in their opinion.  Debatable, but that's 
where it stands for many people.
