So I'll be looking forward to it. Even though I have the CM8K, I've hardly been
able to use it, or almost ANY program, as I havn't had access to my own
computer, most of the time. But since the upgrade isn't too expensive, and
hopefully there might be a way I can ge the rebate too, I suppose I'll move
straight on to the CM9K (and hope to get back to my own computer)

PS I won't be missing anything by not using CM8K will I?
