Well, folks have practically been offering their firstborn... Just a
thought to put out there. (Personally, NCU works for everything I need, but
that may not always be true. Of course, by then I may actually have OS X
capable machines. OK, I'm rambling...)

Well, I wouldn't go THAT far, but your point is well taken. Though, come to
think of it, I hope W2k is better than NT in that respect as I've probably
had more spectacular failures on Windows machines... (Of course, I'm a
physicist, not a professional programmer. I've even taken out a Sun
workstation with bad code. OK, technically it didn't crash, but it soaked
up so much resources that it was easier to just reboot than to try to get in
to kill the process.)
Anyway, I guess I'll shut up now...
