I agree (everyone knowing Susan here)! She is a great help here and is as
you say famous (or is that infamous to some?)! Thanks Dave for your help...
I've been installing things that impact my system and avoiding the ones that
don't apply (pop connecter, nt tape backup, etc.). I really hate patching
things that I don't "use" on my system since, like you said, things can go
wrong. Thanks Again!!
