True.  Right now I am in the midst of a "what the hell is going on
with my kernel patching" situation on my Solaris NAS.  Probably going
to toss in the towel trying to resolve it and just do a live upgrade
to the latest release, since I've wasted about 8 hours on it already.

So, maybe one night next week.  Win 7 RC licenses are still live,
right?  I can't remember if I flattened it back to XP when I boxed the
tablet up for moving.
