I figured a generic question would get a generic reply. If anyone had upgraded a pb box from windoze 95 to fbsd they (I hope) would say something like "I did and it's working okay for me." There is this fine line between dumping tons of information on a list in the hopes of getting an instant and detailed anwer right away vs. a generic question which will require followup. One wastes bandwidth for the 99% while the other requires multiple messages for the 1% (or less). I'm guilty of both, but I was shooting for the latter option this time. Lee
