Re: Upgrade from NB-28 to NB-29

Thank you Micheal,

just to share my expereince to the list, in case someother newbee (feels 
strange to call myself that, but here I am) passes by.

I just changed name of old folder to netbeans-28, copy the new netbeans 
in place, launched nb from my desktop icon and it found setting from old 
installation and asked if I wanted to import them, which I did.

Then it did some scans and eventually opened up, listing all projects 
that I had open before. Only thing it didn't do was to also open the 
last opened documents for me but think I can live with that.

Yeah those were the days... Guess I'm or was one of the last holdouts 
and sure should have taken this step at least 10 years ago, but there 
are always circumstances. Strangely enough, now there is what appears to 
be a true VB6 replacement that looks promising, but... it still require 
a lot of new learning, so decided to take on this challenge anyhow.

So, expect some really stupid questions from me ;-)
