Thou shalt not...

From the "why don't I ever learn" file...

#1 - "Thou shalt not upgrade programs that are functioning correctly, just for the sake of upgrading.*"

#2 - "Thou shalt suppress the need to try out every beta or upgrade."

I spent about 2 hours this morning recovering from trying to install an early adopter version of a Lotus Notes upgrade, which, if I'd read the forum posts about it, I never would have considered. And the version I have is working the best of any Lotus Notes I've had in 12 years. So WHY do I do this? I think I have some gene that makes me want to upgrade stuff.

*NOTE: Security patches to Windows or other OS's don't count - anyone NOT doing automatic Windows updates of security patches is just asking for it.
