In the computer lab here at work, our SE (2.5 meg, 20 meg HD, if it matters, has been run with 6.03,.04,.05 since I've been here) has had Sam 2.0 on it, and 
we've never experienced any problems with it... except that SAM and Disinfectanthave a big fight when trying to disinfect a floppy :-).

Why eould you prefer SAM?  Well, for one, it can LEARN your system.  If I get
a conflict with Gatekeeper, I have to go to the control panel and configure to
get rid of the problem.  With SAM we just hit the "learn" button.  Also, when 
we got our DaynaFile, Gatekeeper was so relentless, that we pitched him.

But you gotta admit "Gatekeeper" is a pretty cool name!
