That really makes no sense because usually any software deemed unstable is usually preceded by alpha or beta, not by version number alone (except maybe the linux kernel).
By your logic if any software that has a 1.0 or 2.0 status would mean that it is automatically unstable, so I guess all version of linux kernel 1.0 and 2.0 are unstable?
Even though in the Linux kernel version numbering scheme 1.0, 2.0 are deemed stable, and any uneven numbers like 1.1 or 2.1 are deemed development (potentially unstable). |

Did any of you see my Chromium screenshot on page 104 or did you all just skip right over it?

It would be better to give a post number, not all of us use the standard settings. |

That isn't just the Gmail account, if you look closely it's the New Tab page. As in the page that opens when you first open a tab.
