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
that broke and didn't have newer versions available), clean out all the
pointless crap that Apple's terminally hopeless installer had dumped in
my System folder, and so on.
