EXACTLY!! :-) :-) :-)

Well I still use floppies to work with 16 bit machines.. and I think I
will build a controller one day to read/write even Amiga floppies on a
PC over USB those MCU and RTOS are quite nice to play nowadays :-)

I am just reporting back my experiences with freebsd-update upgrade -r
13.2-RELEASE :-)

Aside from some trivial in hand patches of already modified system
files, it told me some files that are present on 13.1 are not present
anymore on 13.2 so they are about to be deleted and I cannot proceed
with the upgrade on no answer.. this was the only thing I noticed that
worried me a bit :-) :-)
