Jon,
Oh, I don't know if I have the stamina for a 6.09 install again. However, I will be willing to install 6.10. I'll just have to have a "lifeline" to INDY if I run into problems!
I will say again 5.1.7 is running even more smoothly with my current setup. My receptionist almost hugged me due to her new machine compared to her old 2002 Dimension XP box. (before you feel sorry for her I did upgrade the memory and ceased making her put in data with punched cards)
