Don't forget to upgrade your databases (like the mail files) with the
latest templates, that's where a lot of the new UI stuff comers in,
otherwise it just looks like the old one.

What stuff is it not bringing across?  It's actually pretty easy to
integrate the old into the new when installing.

Chicken.    (I am too, I don't use it either)

I don't know about the iomega's. (hope it's better than their tape and
Click! drives!), but our isn't real useful for disaster recovery, at least
with our backup software. (it wont use remote storage without a NAS option
which is a bit pricey)  I backup to tape mainly, but I also have a USB hard
disk drive that was cheaper and could be used by our backup sw without the
NAS connector.
