I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I learn more about the system
all the time, and sometimes I surprise myself by knowing more than I
realized. But, you see, I don't have a network card, I don't know how
to program C, I don't even know what ATA means. So it sounds to me like
on the surface, 4.0 is going to look the same as 3.x.
