Oh, I am a deployment snob too... What I was really saying is that "hey, the
normal stuff ain't workin, so give the other stuff a try if you have to."  I
understand and agree with all of your points- you are indeed correct.

I really like XP... I've got it running on a couple of boxes here.  Of
course, if Senator Schumer and Steve Gibson can keep their mouths shut for a
little white, the rest of the world might be able to enjoy it too!!
