- Funny. When I put 7.1 on my Q700 at home, which is loaded with
- applictions, and shows three lines of INIT icons at startup, the only
- things I had to upgrade were DiskDoubler (free upgrade) and
- SpeedyFinder(shareware). And a completely unsolicited and free upgrade to
- Adobe Type Align showed up in my mailbox at about the same time.

- Gee. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
