Dale,

 DB> LOL.  We have been beta testers for years already.

  Reminds me of the bulletin on my BBS "You Want To Be A Sysop??", dealing
with a Sysop doing an upgrade, and things crash out...with it noting "Now,
you know what the term 'beta test site' really means". <G>

 DB> I moved from Win7 to Win10 for my mailer and I run both a windows and
 DB> DOS version.  With the 2004 update, it broke everything so I went back
 DB> to the 1909 and staying put as I do not have the time to troubleshoot
 DB> or chase solutions down for the every changing desktop.  Might just go
 DB> back to Win7, it ran just fine for years.

  The 2004 update took over 7 hours to download, install, and go through
all of the reboots. But, I've got everything working over here. The BBS
is on a 32-bit version of Windows 10 (so I didn't have to give up the
legacy doorgames), on my late Mom's computer. My laptop, where I read
the QWK Mail, and play the BBS doorgames...plus, do my ham radio and
square dance related stuff, is on a Windows 10 64-bit system.

  At least the update this past Tuesday didn't take as long to finish.

Daryl
