It's exactly what I'm saying...the "Adaptives" (fuel, IAC, spark - mainly)
are reset via the DRB-III as well as the catalytic "clock" within the PCM.

Basically what Bernd is *trying* to say is that they reset your computer
when they changed the cat. They do this to clear out anything that the PCM
has "learned" or "adapted" to over time as your cat's performance degraded.

Just drive it, you'll be fine.
