Thank you.  Distinct SmartDefense profile is nice and something to
consider.  I should study more on the differences between Pro and UTM
and Power.
My main thing is that I would stick with R60 for now but the hardware I
want to use is not supported by R60 CD I have.  Splat in R62 CD supports
this hardware and I am also told that R61 Take 56 CD has the Splat
drivers for it also.  I believe there is a R60 HFA03 CD but I don't know
if I can obtain that any more.

Fred
