Indeed.  (Surprising reply from Jason, must be weary from all the copyright
battles that I keep having to delete unread *hint hint*)

"What if you lost inside NFS" didn't seem to prevent Sun from supporting

(Heck, they could even swap over the net before NFS.  Any old farts like me
 still remember "ND"?  (-: )
