Just wanted to post my success story in the same n00b thread I started.

Plus give a shot out to Cody L.

Just finished upgrading to 3.03 OE-A'. It was insanely simple! Anyone who reads this and is considering doing this you won't be sorry. Just read directions and follow them verbatim.

Now that everything is going good can I format my Pro Duo card? I need the space for all the homebrew goodness that awaits

Thanks again for all the help!
