Great! Where do I get a set to test? (Not in the woody archives yet ;-)

I've got someone making me a CD on Monday next. Look forward to that!

I tried this one before I got the vanilla batch this last release, and I
was surprised at how different the intall appears. I'm not prepared to do
two sets of screen shots in my book just because of space limitations.

I appreciate that statement more than you can know.
I got shorted on time last weekend, and didn't finish my "drivers"

Thanks for all the fine work this team does, and specific thanks to Adam
for being a consistent point of focus and communication.
Keep up the Great work!
