Well, just got back from running the install CD in run mode. No 
problems. I went and walked the dog, came back after 15 minutes and the 
mouse kept right on mousing. Nary a burp in the barrel. That's why I 
don't trust a damn upgrade, there's always some old obscure config file 
~ somewhere ~ that did not get notified that changes have occurred. 
Looks like it'll be full clean install time, again. I did have high 
hopes though. That'll teach me to take my own advice. <swears> Ric
