Argh! Hadn't checked kde.org in the last week or so. I'll make 
this the second release - hopefully a few days after the first 
one. It only takes about 30 minutes to upgrade (at least for 
point releases). The time consuming part is d/l'ing and 
installing the new KDE release (along with another Linux 
install). However by dropping the KDE2 stuff, I have lots of 
free partitions at the moment.

There was some stuff related to class hierarchies (effectively 
allowing "casting" as it were) as well. That also should go 
pretty quickly.

I almost cried :) I once spec'd out a UPS system for a Swiss bank 
(Shanghai branch) to keep their systems up for 8 hours minimum. 
It weighed something like 12,000 lbs. They never bought it.
