Funny, On Cue gave me conflicts with SuperBoomerang.  (I wonder why...could
it be because ICOM felt it necessary to superglue On Disk to On Cue?)
In any case, I hacked out the On Disk part so now my On Cue is just
On Cue.  If anyone would like, I could mail them a copy of the updater
that I created...

It was pretty good, but I STILL think the On Cue configuration process
is MUCH better.  I miss the Power-button app switching, though.

I had lots of crashes on 0.8b3.  It's either because I'm running System
6 (save your flames) or because I have a B&W monitor.  It kept crashing
on Get(something)Depth.  After several too many crashes, I decided
to hack out my old copy of On Cue, and the rest is history...

(Hey, Jeremy, where's 0.8b4, fixing that bug, making the config process
nicer, adding custom menu bar icons, making the depth switching more
intuitive, etc.?)
