   But the advantage of FSquirt, is it works over Bluetooth,   
   when a number of other things are "busted" on your computer.   
   That's the only real feature it has. It's reasonably   
   robust (assuming Pairing still works on your beast).   
      
   Even when Windows didn't have a working TCP/IP stack   
   across Bluetooth, the FSquirt file transfer, still worked.   
   Don't ask me what the stack used to do that was. I was   
   just impressed that it worked.
