The question was mostly rhetorical.  I was thinking of the poor slob 
with a Windows box who doesn't know this stuff.  Of course, that poor 
slob would probably have paid the $100 "professional" installation 
fee, rather than just getting suckered out $50 for the "basic" 
installation  :)

Yeah, I tried that, didn't work.

I'll try that tonight.  I was using pump, and Derek reminded me that 
pump is sometimes, often times, broken :)
