One of the most useful parts of AE, I've found, is the remote access ability. It's really nice to be able to leave the computer knowing someone can log in and download some stuff you've arranged for them to get, without you being there. The two file transmission protocols, wait-for-a-prompt-character-at-the-beginning-of-each-line, and wait-till-you-get-the-last-character-echoed-before-you-send-another-one, come in really handy at times. (not often but when ya need them ya need them) I am saving my 0.01$s, however, for the mouse version, which a friend has, and which is really slick. --- +---------+ Dalhousie University | _ | From the Halifax, Nova Scotia | (_)===| Disk of ...
