Just one comment.  If you go to 7.5/4.1, remember that there are
raster refresh problems with that version.  Any time the raster
is moved or occluded, the raster goes blank and a redraw has to 
be done to get it back.  I tried (for about 2 seconds) to debug
7.6/4.2 (I get the same "createPipeline problem" that somebody
else saw when they tried it).  But, the bug doesn't bother me
because I don't actually care what the raster is doing at any
one time slice and so I can always just hit step again without
regard to the minor change.  But, some people rely on being able
to freeze-frame and move windows around.

p.s. If you're going to upgrade, anyway..... you could go to 
7.6/4.2 and debug that problem, eh?  [grin]
