- Just to be honest (not that you weren't) they also dinged you folks for being
- a bit slow in execution ...not that I have personally noticed any such draw-
- back. I've used MP II for about three years now, and have been very happy
- with it. The only annoyance I have experienced is a tendency at times for
- MP II to get messed up when doing a copy and paste to the command line of a
- UNIX server ...the paste hangs and I have to hit the stop button and retry.
- Doesn't happen too often though.
