Heh. With my BA of Economics, I appreciate your message Sean :)

Just one little technical detail:

No no no. If people experience speeds below than 8 KB/s, it's a bug I
WILL fix before selling anything. I hope you have an ATA card to test
it (I plan to have fixed the bug in the registration code checking
method next week-end).

I know that it used to be much slower. But I fixed that. And I have
some ideas that might make it even faster.

There are other additional values like reading photos/mp3s/whatever
from FAT file systems (not in 1.0) and extended backup (not in 1.0).
