- I've never known this not to work either. As a consultant in NY I
- used NB on a wide variety of machines and noticed idiosyncracies that
- varied from machine to machine. Maybe that is one of the reasons that
- some bugs never seem to go away for some; it is hard for NBI to fix
- something they can't replicate.
