<shrug> 4mb is neither here nor there these days. To me, 4mb
(actually, somewhere between 1-4mb; I said possibly 2-4mb, so you
automatically bloated this to 4mb) spent on Boot Manager is
reasonable well spent; I have enough disk space in that machine
that I can afford it.

Oh, by the way, I am running that certain other OS as well.
Realities of the word today means that for a lot of things,
you have to to get things done. I write music education
software for Windows, so I kinda need to run Windows to do that.
It's ignorant to believe Linux can ever take over the world
from Windows and other corporate-designed, coporate-run OSs.
