I've got to say that it's well worth your efforts. Please keep up the  
excellent work! I'm sorry to hear it takes you so long -- but it  
installs in minutes here and just works. please thank your wife for

If you need someone to test future packages -- just send them my way.  
So far, you're doing a wonderful job.
