I am sorry for the double reply. As soon as I hit the 'send button' I wanted
that one back.

I am new here, about three weeks, and so far I can find nothing to complain
about. Everything works. Very well. Everything is up to date. The only
problems I have had was 'different names' and 'different places' and
'different ways to do' things. Other than that I can not think of anything.
FC-4 is so well behaved compared to what I am used to that I got bored and I
have installed and I am looking at FC-5 test. Currently test 2 going towards
test 3. But it works. Or if it is broken it is only one or maybe two days and
then it is fixed.
