Well, yes, but as a fanatic switcheroo user, and having previously (a year ago
before I got switcheroo) used a QuicKey macro for the task I will point out 
that even on a system with a fast hard drive (Quantum pro80s) bringing up the 
control panel and making the switch can take up to 15 seconds given that the
control panel first scans your system folder for cdevs.  Switcheroo on the
other hand takes about 1/4-1/2 second.
