Well, since I don't have a time machine (please let me know if you do - I
have a number of *serious* things to correct back then), it doesn't help
me back in Oct and Nov. I also really am averse to alpha software - I
don't like to use anything less than x.0.1 (after they've fixed the bugs
that were missed before the release <g>)
