He also probably has no electricity.
The good news about this, Sue, is that if for some reason it dies in the middle and your run out of time you can just leave the older UBB running. The import doesn't touch it. Then when you have time to run it again you can delete the .threads database completely and start over again.
In fact, that's what I'd do. Drop the database, delete the beta install, install a clean and new installation, then do the import from there. Who knows what other problems you might run into by trying to upgrade that older beta. You've hit it once, what else might happen? Long term you'll probably have fewer frustrations if you delete that beta and go from scratch.
