I was a little worried about the installation of 3.0, since I don't
have a floppy drive. After some discussions I just copied the floppy from a  
NeXT station over to my OD and ran the installation preparation app from there.
The result, just the way Steve Jobs wants it to be:
"It just works!"
I was very impressed by the upgrade package which really walks you through
the procedure and even asks if you want a copy of the changes made. It 
makes a personalized upgrade plan for you and even discusses the plan with you:  
you can edit what files should be left alone nicely colored bullets of which  
files will be affected etc.
Kinda reminds me of a holistic, new age birth program, very gentle to the new  
baby 3.0...
