I got around to doing the upgrade to the latest version of Drupal tonight. The main site hasn't been upgraded yet but it will be in the next couple of days. The database and site on my Powerbook are upgraded and it looks nice. It took a few minutes to get the old themes out of the way and to re-work the .htaccess file to make the rewrite work properly. Ironically I was thinking of starting anew with a simpler theme and keeping it simpler. The default theme with the new Drupal does this nicely.
So this was an upgrade that was "assisted" by United Airlines. Having an extra two hours to wait for the flight tonight gave me plenty of time to work out the kinks. Not that it made me happy per se. But it gave some time to work out the kinks.
