   	Yeh, I use stunnel.   
   	I have a "come and get me" attitude. Has not worked yet. Since   
   I do regular backups, recovery will be fun.

   and win95 were swallowed by the updates). When I buy a new HD I can't   
   get up the courage to wipe the old OS's. So I just xcopy them to a   
   spare partition/folder.
