Thanks. I tried that and had some problem. don't remember at this |
| 15 |
point what it was. Anyway, since it wasn't clear I could fix it in a |
| 16 |
few minutes I brought the machine home with me so maybe this weekend I |
| 17 |
can find some time to fire it up, fix the link, and get started on |
| 18 |
updates. We'll see. |

I wish it didn't completely remove the profile but just gave you a |
| 21 |
warning that you were using an outdated profile like it used to in the |
| 22 |
old days. |
