I know. The last time I upgraded Ubuntu in place it f****d up my system so bad I 
had to wipe the disk and start all over. It still won't play videos correctly 
(the previous Ubuntu worked fine), the rhythmbox music player never worked 
again, it wiped out all my virtual boxes, I had to spend hours googling around 
trying to figure out how to reconfigure the display driver so the monitor worked 
again, etc.

I learned my lesson! Yes, I'll eventually upgrade, but I'm not looking forward 
to it.

Yeah, I could spend an afternoon doing that.
