Thanks for the input, but I'll be moving along. I have reasons for keeping things status quo, and not going to upgrade at this time. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lavi [mailto:mlavi@xxxxxxx] Sent: February 22, 2007 6:52 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Installing Apache 1.3 on Windows 2003 Why update? 1) Security patches. You missed the subtle reference that older versions of Apache are vulnerable and therefore could compromise your system. 2) Apache 1.3x is abandoned on Win32 platforms, 2.2.x is current. See http://www.wmwweb.com/apache/httpd/binaries/win32/ for part of the explanation. Back to your message -- you are not alone: we all manage systems that are not bleeding edge. However, that does not mean we aren't aware of the responsibility to keep them up to date for bug, stability, and security reasons. We all must calculate the appropriate manner to manage updates. When it comes to requesting Apache support, you're very unlikely to see someone to volunteer to help with an older version for the reasons stated: it's not good advice! I hope this helps, sometimes hearing the fundamental reason helps on the second iteration of a discussion.

To the person who said "I doubt it's your box anymore", Why?? It is and it works, and to WOW everyone even more, it's running beautifully on a 366 with 256 megs of ram. It never crashes, it never hiccups, and it's reasonably fast running on an old version of Slackware (8.1) - so why would I want to change it? I also have an analog TV and a 15 year old toaster that work fantastic as well, and I'm not planning to upgrade those either. New does not necessarily mean better, and in many cases are much worse.
