I thought you could use a boot floppy as well, but for some reason, I've
never had any luck booting from floppy when I've tried so I "forgot" to
mention it.

Damn, I knew I was forgetting something. *lol* I blame it on the baby
crying making me forget to cite the message. That plus my client displays
the message in a window above the composing window which always makes me
forget that the message I'm replying to isn't actually in the message I'm
sending.

Thanks for the reminders!
