If you are using a third-party CD extension and upgrade the OS, the OS 
installer will seek and destroy the third party extension and replace 
it with the Apple driver, unless you use Marc Moini's Clean-Install 
Assistant. I've seen this happen all the time. "Hey, I upgraded my OS 
and now my CD won't work." Moral: Use CIA, or save copies of all your 
third-party stuff.
