The PC file manager would be useful.  I'll get the AT306 running today, but
I can't leave it up for long without a case.  If I turn my back on it, I'm
sure I'll discover that one of my roommates (feline type) will have
stretched out on the board.  The least nasty outcome of that would be a
slightly singed cat<g>.  All the other alternatives are worse<g>.
