Maybe they still do. Ours needed a few hours attention to get it running

The simple answer is yes. That depends on what you have done with 6.06. Do
you have a machine running? If so, do you have your config files saved?
There are some changes. One change you may not have is the .table file is
different.

This will accomplish three things:
