5.5 was really robust.  I still have a client on that. It started as 
a small runtime on Windows for a lawn care business and morphed to 
full CRM + scheduling and billing on a network.  I had to go to Ebay 
to get copies of 5.5/6 for him about 5 years ago. The only calls have 
been for feature additions.

If durability is the hallmark of quality, 5.5 is right up there.
