Winboxes may be a pain in the butt to use at times but doesn't it give you a
good feeling when you can overcome hardware problems?
It's a bit like an adventure game. You know you have to upgrade or die and
all the clues as to how to upgrade are out there but most of it is so
conflicting that when you bite the bullet and give up the readies, it's nice
to bolt it all together and find it actually works! Better yet, you know
that you wont have to do it all again for at least six months! <GGG>
