Abstract
We present the results of new fits to the recently extracted data on F2 at low x with the GBW saturation model and its modification to cover high values of Q2. We find that the model stands the test of time and gives a good description of the data with slightly modified parameters. All the essential elements of the model, especially the saturation scale, are retained.
