For us, the plunge to 6.0 was BMR, which no longer required a Nix
server.  And MP3, despite it's weaknesses, finally brought out WinPE
boot for Windows BRM restores.  No more fiddling with DOS network
drivers for DOS boot disks!

And I just got engineering binaries for nbjm and nbpem, so we'll see how
the weekend backups run!
