Mike, I always counted U1 as something that would someday fail or cease. as such I always carry a USB stick and all my synchronised stuff gets copied to that as well [I use grsync for what it's worth]. it really isn't too much effort to re-sync my pooters from the usb stick - but... not so nice as u! [sob]. I hope the close date is accurate - I've already asked interflora if they can send u1 a wreath! ;) holding back the tears... -- Bill B.
