Re: [Bobs-devel] Install Question

Joe:
It's all working like a charm.  I have to say this is the neatest piece of
software I've seen in awhile.
Many thanks to all who are working on it.  I am continually amazed at the
creativity of all the folks that work on open source software.
This app. in particular lets you take an old box that you were maybe going
to throw away, throw in some new disks and just let it sit there for when
its needed.  It is much easier to pull a file off this for a user than to
pull it from tape.  I've done it once or twice now for people and they can't
believe it when I restore the file while I'm on the phone with them!  I'm
sure this is old hat to everyone else, but its kind of neat to me. :))


Thanks again.

James
