I delayed switching from NAES for a couple of years because of the
problems I had with networking and floppy drive formatting.

The network issue hasn't been fixed but altering some of the config
has worked around the problem.

AFAIK floppy formatting still doesn`t work but I will test it again.

There are still a few display issues in Texel and ctrl-insert doesn't
work. I have fewer crashes, Texel used to lock-up quite often when
cut&pasting.

I tried a few older apps that I rarely use and didn't have much look
but I didn't get chance to check further.
