You don't *HAVE* to install Magic Menu. You don't *HAVE* to have "Expert
menu's" switched on(remember, there are 2 menu levels, standard and
Expert). You don't *HAVE* to drop Translators in your System folder - heck,
you don't even *HAVE* to have a Translators folder in your System Folder!
It's there if you want it, but they aren't forcing it down your throat.
