        Long-term, yes I believe we gained a lot.  Short-term, what I 
recall having heard from some of the people who lived through it, 
well let's just say it was really ugly and nasty for a certain period 
of time.

        If possible, I'd like to see us avoid the same kind of problems 
with wd vs. ata, if we can.

   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
