*'''2005-06-25''': currently dealing with a complete loss of data on the main Windows machine. Fortunately, all the crucial business data is backed up nightly to a Linux box, so it's just a matter of reinstalling everything. This is going to delay shipping a couple of days, however. I'm also trying to get some of the software to run under an emulator in Linux so as little as possible will depend on Windows.
