When bad things happen to good Mac's [OT]

[Mark Guertin]

LOL.  I know the deal, I think I've been on this list since it was  
created and have used YDL since before the "gone home" release ;)  
(which never happened btw).  Started with Champion Server 1.0  
something or other and have lurked for a long time ;)

Glad to lend a hand where needed.  Each tool has it's  own function,  
and I'm a strong believer that no one tool is the "best", it always  
depends on the job at hand.  There are some that I may try before  
others, but that's usually defined by need and not just  
preference ;)  At least now there are options!  It wasn't always the  
case :(
