Especially after trying out Boomerang 2.0B9 this weekend.  I take it back --
you can have application-specific files if you want them in Boomerang.  And
Lord, it's nice to use -- I can switch off about five INITs now that I use
Boomerang.  This is definitely the best utility to come along all year, and
that includes the DiskTop 4.0 upgrade.  Nice Work!

Standing ovation for Mr. Yamamoto, and if he ever decides to relase
Boomerang as ShareWare instead of Freeware, I'll have a check down to him so
fast it'll make his head swim.

                           "[Mort] Sahl and [Alexander] Haig were discussing
                            Henry Kissinger. Sahl mentioned that, of course,
                            Kissinger could not be the US President since he
                            was not born in the US.  Haig said, no, that's a
                            common misconception, Kissinger was born in the
                            US.  'How did he get that accent?' asked Sahl.
                            Haig replied, 'From never listening to anybody.'"
