I did a minimal upgrade (kern/base/etc) on my Mystic CC.  That went 
well, especially since I remembered to run postinstall to fix things up 
this time.  Haven't had much time to do anything beyond that, but I'm 
looking forward to trying things out.  Especially if I can revive my 
Q840, too.

John, are you going to build optimized X-related sets?  I do use X on 
the CC so that would prove helpful.

Thanks,
Tim
