Well, I took the plunge and did an upgrade from 8.2 rather than a clean
install. I had a full backup in case anything went wrong but it went
very smoothly. It was encouraging as well as discouraging that three
problems I had before the upgrade were still there after the upgrade.
Apparently, those are my problems to resolve. Anyway, I just wanted to
add my experience to those of others who have reported their
upgrade/install experiences.
