Well, I went from 7.1 to 7.6, and it took *ages* to re-install clean
copies of all the various third-party extensions and control panels I
use, get newer versions (or different extensions in the case of those

pointless crap that Apple's terminally hopeless installer had dumped in
my System folder, and so on.
