And now for a shameless "me too" post:

Yes, Firestarter is pretty darn slick. I too stuck it on my laptop, but
configured it so that it could behave as kinda of a "reverse wireless
router" -- exactly what I need when my daughter and I are at Borders and
need to share the wireless account!

What can I say? It just works. And it's "intelligent" too. It turns
itself back on whenever it sees the wireless card active. Nice touch.

And I must confess a fondness for the actual film "Firestarter" -- but
only because the score was done by Tangerine Dream.

Any Tangerine Dream fans here besides me? Or would that be too "off
topic"? ;-)
