Radio upgrade analysis

The first thing I did after downloading the new software was to read and even print the upgrade instructions page *before* I started the upgrade. I followed along until step #6 when Radio did not open to a setup page in my browser.

So when I tried step #7 I was unable to locate a prefs page for files/folders. All I could see in Radio were the files/folders item in the menubar.

This seems to be where I started down the wrong path in my upgrade Radio 7.0.

Analysis: The Radio 7 upgrade path needs thorough documentation including screen shots and trouble shooting options.

Until the upgrade path is smoothed out an upgrade candidate could backup Radio 7.0 and create a new 8.0 installation for their education.

The fresh install is smooth and simple. A testament to Userland's people and technology. It takes a lot of work to make things simple.

Side note: I've chosen a narrative style to describe my upgrade experience to provide a look at how a moderately savvy computer user proceeds through the upgrade process.
