Rasing hand....I used a couple of Quarterdeck products on my 386 laptop
back in, um, oh hell I dunno - long ago.  I don't understand why they
had to be called 'TSR' - my guess is that 'daemon' wasn't freindly
enough or something.  Then, of course when WinNT came out they changed
the name to 'service'.  Have they changed it again to something else
with WinXP or .NET?
