Oh, what a surprise. I've held off doing anything with 2K before now as it
just isn't worth the time and energy until the darned thing has had a
service pack or three. Plus the fact that I don't have an expendable bit of
kit with sufficient horsepower lying around spare at the moment - it's
going nowhere near live boxen.

I've seen and heard a lot about Billy's fuckwitted MMC thing, that was my
impression even before I'd had a play with it. What a crock of shit - and
what the hell are "snap ins" - last I heard they were some dodgy American
company that made spanners, I suppose it figures.

I've noticed Mailtraq churning away like mad doing things with the news
spool on NTFS. I've also yet to find a competent NTFS defragger that I
trust.
