As with any other program. I may as well be the only one who has used it. ^_^ Actually, I've read abou= t a small trickle of users here and there scattered across the web who have= `claimed` to have used it. There are also html/video tutorials out there w= hich mention it. I don't remember the exact links as I made the initial mis= take of rushing through installation the first time without spending time w= ith it and doing it correctly. Live and learn, I won't make this mistake again in future installs. :)
