- I was a little worried about the installation of 3.0, since I don't
- have a floppy drive. After some discussions I just copied the floppy from a
- NeXT station over to my OD and ran the installation preparation app from there.
- The result, just the way Steve Jobs wants it to be:
- "It just works!"
- I was very impressed by the upgrade package which really walks you through
- the procedure and even asks if you want a copy of the changes made. It
- makes a personalized upgrade plan for you and even discusses the plan with you:
- you can edit what files should be left alone nicely colored bullets of which
- files will be affected etc.
- Kinda reminds me of a holistic, new age birth program, very gentle to the new
- baby 3.0...
