oh, that's bad to hear.

I must say, that good up to date informations was a main problem in
this time I was going through these days...

I have got a lot of help from many people, which is very nice and
appreciated, but after me the next newbie comes and goes through similar
hassles...  Many people *do* search for information before asking for help...

up to date documentation.
