Of course there is a reason for the wisht to run it on a       USB drive and I'm sure that one realize the stability issues.              Besides, I don't know about your working environment, but in my office I       seldom have some "smart-a**" coming up to my PC while I work and pull out my       USB-devices! In fact, it hasn't happened yet! :-)              For example demo purpose I can see that having your app on a USB-stick could       be very handy.              Anders              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
