Hmmm, I've been using AN on my MP2kU for quite a while
now...I have not had it do anything buggy and have
found it to be quite powerful. I can't live without
that overview feature starting up everytime I turn on
my Newt. And the HyperNames is a function I wished the
Newt had from the beginning. Either I may not be
hammering my Newt hard enough, or there is something
conflicting with the versions that every one else
has...
