[gui-talk] Important Security Update for Winamp

[albert griffith]

Steve, my problem with the, if it ain't broke don't fix it crowd is their
tendency to overlook updates that make improvements to an existing program.
I began using jaws 3.5 but I've updated it often and not because it was
broken.  I updated it to take advantage of improvements made to each new
build.  I update if it means improved security or if the update adds
functionality to the older program.  It's been my experience that program
developers don't spend the time and money to update a product unless they
determine it will work better or.  The, "if it ain't broke don't fix it,"
folks seem to miss the point of updates.  If this post educates one person
and they began keeping their programs current I'll feel I've done well.

Hi Ray,

The main reason I update Winamp and other software as soon as a new
version is realeased is because I tend to be what is called a "bleeding
edger".  that is someone who likes to have the absolute latest software. 
I also think security updates are important and should be installed as
soon as possible.  However I appreciate other people believe the saying
that if it isn't broke don't fix it and might be quite happy to run
older versions of software.  So the choice is up to you.

Regards Steve.
