At least I got rid of or upgraded all my J305 and earlier stuff years ago (I think). I discovered another problem (or benefit -- I'm not sure which) just now. I wanted to use a script I had saved in my J601 Projects directory that required another script that was referenced as being in ~Projects. Needless to say, ~Projects is now somewhere else, so I'll have to go back and check all my old scripts for that problem, verify they work on J602, and then migrate them to their new location. The good news is that it forces me to do at least a bit of regression testing on J602; the bad news is that I really don't have time for that right now. > However the above is all untested theory and yet to be subjected to > the vagaries of "real life"! Thanks for your tips, Ric. I guess I should get involved in the next beta program.
