Hi Jonathan, You did the best you could to get this software out as fast as possible. I can hardly wait to get the funding to get my old bn updated with new motherboard and 6.11! I would ask you though, since the bn I have now with 5.1 build 22 is a loner, and since I have my backup on a card, how can I switch all my favorites, dialup info etc to my updated bn, If I can keep this loner for a short time after I get my own, if it happens, how can I read the urls so I can copy them to the new bn if, that is, there is no way to get all the backup data on my card to it?
Thanks Jonathan and don't let these little flame outbreaks get to you!
