Hi Ron,

Please don't interpret this as criticism, but... I'm curious as to how 
one would benefit from hourly updates. In fact, that rate would seem to 
be a drain on time and resources. I understand that one need not install 
the updates immediately. But, wouldn't a monthly set of updates be more 
efficient and beneficial?
