If you want to upgrade I would suggest bringing your system in to the
PLUG Clinic at Freegeek on the third Sunday of the month from 1-5pm.
The next one will be 6/18/2006.  There you will find willing experts
and plenty of Dapper Drake media (from the sounds of things) who could
help you get through the upgrade.
