*Well hello Winston,

I just wanted to hear that from someone else rather, than I saying that 
9.10 is bad in anyway...I upgraded from 9.04 with ease, the only problem 
is that some times once I am at the main screen, the top bar will not 
show up the apps that I have on it...

So I have to reboot once again, just maybe it will come up correctly, 
why this is happening I have no idea...

Other than that, it works just fine here, that is with everything, like 
compiz, sound, streaming video's and the like...

I have to agree, I am very satisfied with Karmic 9.10...

Enjoy Larry ;-)
