>>>As for headaches from upgrade -- I remember the headache from upgrading from Win 3.0 to Win 3.1. Took a total of 15 minutes and 4 hours. 15 minutes to finally get the install to complete w/o a problem (once I'd figured out what went wrong previously) -- after having spent 4 hours and having the upgrade crash 80% of the way through (with the end result of a mish-mash of old and new components that weren't compatible). Luckily I'd backed everything up *before* starting the upgrade, so all I needed to do is restore the affected parts and re-try the upgrade. I eventually figured out that I had to revert all the drivers back to the generic ones that came on the Windows discs --
then start the upgrade (i.e. Win 3.0 drivers for video card, mouse, etc were
not compatible with Win 3.1).

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
