Beware BETA software.....on the surface it seems cool, and may even SEEM to work the way it is supposed to....but then, after a few days of upgraded bliss, other programs tend to start failing, and, of course, since it has been a few days since the momentous upgrade that appeared to be working properly, you have forgotten about the upgrade and spend weeks trying to figure out why something that used to work suddenly stops working. Then, in a sudden epiphany, you remember what you did, and decide to go and remove it, only to find that there IS NO WAY TO remove the program!!!! Oh sure, you could remove the directory it is in, but what about all the other nifty little files it scatters throughout your machine, and all the Registry entries it makes so that it will run "seamlessly" with Windows?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I miss DOS and the days when programs were all kept in their own individual places and didn't mess with other programs.
OK.....I feel better now.
