Like Jim, I was originally going to keep parallel installations going
for some time (BB, and then Hobbit).    After only 1 day of seeing what
hobbit could do for me, my reaction was "why bother"?

I imported the bb-hosts file from BB into hobbit, turned BB off, and
went to town.

I have to second everything that Kent said.  I am still in the process
of switching from BB to Hobbit, but I've had it set up and running since
January.  I really, really like it.

I'm going to continue using BB for a while to send messages and alerts
to the help desk folks, since I want to filter out a lot of things that
they might panic about but aren't really critical issues.  Hobbit will
be the main monitoring system for the rest of the technical staff.
