(Editor's Note: I just recently visited IT Republic's Home Page, the place I've linked in the above text.  I must admit that I am shocked; I'm shocked by the strong "fundamentalist" tone this website ahs assumed since my last visit in August 2001.  I receive technical updates from IT Republic by email, so it's infrequent that I even browse their main page. Please be aware that FHD Sonoma neither advocates or endorses the views presented on this link to their site.  In fact, I can't even locate the technical download link that used to be here. As soon as I get an updated URL for ITR,  I'll leave these links as they are for now, but, man. these inferences and comments are a drastic change from what I've known in the past. GEM)
