The short answer is "yes", but it's got to either work from the CDROm or install onto the FAT32 system. Another improvement is to make it a 'newbie demo' version that would come up pretty for newbies with a lot of eye-catching demo stuff. We will definitely re-visit this issue. I'm going to be in Concord, CA the 7-8-9 to visit with Jordan and the folks from WC. We'll talak about this & many other things! Why don't you write little 'position paper' outlining your ideas of what we want and post it? -- Don Wilde "Bringing the Internet to everyone!"
