Lorne, as a newbie I found the old setup rather frightening. I was always afraid that I didn't really understand it, and wasn't absolutely sure whether I was about to install or uninstall something. I think it was the anxiety of a newbie at work, but I found it a great relief to have a clearer indication of what I was doing. It's all in the perspective of where you are, I guess. Anne
