As a matter in fact... I am planning on writing a description of how this all is
being setup. Not only for the rest of the world, but also for myself in case I ever
have to do it again.
The only problem I have right now is the time crunch I am under. I feel like I have
let a couple of friends down already the last couple of weeks (sorry Matt) and it
ain't over yet.
I do have *notes* on how I set everything up though and I will, as soon as time
allows me, put it all in a HOW-TO manual.

Don't worry, be Kneppie!
