I agree. When I first heard about this I wanted to check my computer
but since there didn't seem to be software available I had to open up the box,
... something I prefer not to do since I'm going to do irreparable damage one
of these days:)

I understand that there is such a utilitye available under DOS but
since I'm 100% micro$oft free this isn't an option.
