I can't say I noticed any rudeness directed my way.

I agree on the documentation. And I'm learning about needing look through evrything. BB1 for example. I assumed everything I needed in it would be installed by starting the installation. Not true.

True.

I'm happy with it. Even if my Amiga is still freezing occationally due to icon repositioning. :-)

That's probably good advice. The one someone posted recently about leaving the keyboard alone for at least five minutes before starting to type, is good too. If someone's post irritates, and you really need to respond, take some time to cool down first.

Thank you.

Hopefully there's more good answers. :-)
