That is good news (the last part not the first). It is tempting to go the
upgrade route, as they make it so simple to do. In practice, we are doing
something quite complicated. We are transposing the new over the old and it is
the vestiges of the old that aren't updated that give us the problems. This is
usually where we are most vulnerable because we had to take extra and therefore
non-standard steps to get the original video or wireless working. However, I am
glad to see that you are back on track albeit with some streaks.

I had internet for a minute.... yup just about 1 minute.

I had sound for a while.... lost that when I looked away from my machine.

(Ghost in the machine :D )

ah... At least this is a test machine. Im reinstalling 8.04 tonight.
