Re: Suggested fix pack

We just installed 8.5.3 FP3 over the weekend, we were on FP2.

We install Power (a.k.a. AS/400, iSeries) cumulative PTF packages
quarterly, and if there is a Domino update available we install it as well
so we stay up to date on patches & fixes.

If FP4 is released in April we'll install it in May when we do our next
quarterly updates.

Even if 9.0 is released in March we'll probably wait for the first fix
pack or 9.1 because we did not have a very good experience with 8.0 when
it was first released.

I saw someone else heard 9 is suppose to be more stable than a typical .0
release, but we're not going to take any chances based on our previous
experience.
