I got tired of really-old software. It was time for a 'forest fire' upgrade. Now, this think is as beautiful as a new day. Everything I've tried works beautifully. (Like, I'm sending this via Evolution...while watching TV...) Lesson learned: though they work really hard at making it upgradable, from 8 to 9 is like from 4 to 5, or 5 to 6. Don't. :) Thanks guys!
