re: dpb - wow! Yeah, well, if I started on 5.8 now I might have it running before 5.9 came out. I started at 5.6, before I got it all downloaded and running to clone 5.7 came out. I've got that on my laptop and installing on my desktop. Gotta draw the line somewhere. I download through my cell phone, it's the best internet connection I've got.
