You have no doubt heard the say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Now, I am 100% in favor of product improvement. I fully understand and can accept that an improvement may not be backwards compatible. However, this does not fit into that scenario. The change they made is not compatible with newer, not older or obsolete products. Obviously, the product was not properly beta tested. I have beta tested things for several companies, including Microsoft. If something goes really wrong, I have a phone number to call for assistance. That doesn't exist with FBSD, which is why I NRVER user version X.0 of any of their releases. I did feel that by the tine they got to X.1 they would have ironed out the major bugs. Obviously, not true in this case. So, to answer your question, what I suggest is to wait until 13.1 is released. If that doesn't work, I will just wait until 11.x is put out to pasture and then move onto a new OS. Life is simple, why complicate it. -- Jerry
