So there is the trade off. You are busy cursing FS for leaving out an optional utility and praising another that as you said just don't do the job. Doesn't make sense to me.

Cc: Aidan Subject: Re: Merge Utility, Why It's Missing, Explained I totally agree. Thanks for those who support me. I think for most of us its about time to move and talk with our wallits. I'm strongly considering to move over to supernova. They don't upgrade every year for the sake of meeting a stupid skedual, and therefore its cheaper to upgrade whenever it arrives. Only thing is they stil need to support some apps better before I can really make that switch.
