Joel, no offense, but you don't seem to remotely understand how open
source development works. If companies are that concerned over the
continuing devlopment of jpilot or any other project, they usually hire
the developer to ensure that it continues. This is what has occured in
many many cases (k

you are correct - XP is a mess. They even munged up file sharing setup in
