SleepyHead to Oscar

Post by MurrayNevada » Sat Oct 05, 2019 3:04 pm

I have been using SleepyHead for a long time and am used to it. Do I gain anything by downloading OSCAR. I am not technically skilled and wonder if the transition will be difficult.
Thank you

It's a little faster download. Otherwise you don't really gain a whole lot at this time.
You can use both for now if you wish....that is what I am doing. It will prompt you to import from SleepyHead and it's really not a big deal.
Later once new machine models get released it is unlikely that they will work with the old SleepyHead versions and you will have to use OSCAR which of course will be kept compatible with new model machines.

So not urgent right now but down the road when new models get released it probably will become more urgent to use OSCAR.

transition is not difficult at all. i was worried about this too. but as time went on and the experts here starting talking more and more about oscar, i gave it a go. no problem at all, if you want to try it at some time.

the one difference i see is that the data loads MUCH faster.
