   I asked a pharmacy in Reykjavik if they sold it, or Tylenol PM, and the pharmacist reacted like I'd asked to buy a brick of cocaine.

    Pretty cool. I wish copies of \\juliet were available, and whatever was used in the porting lab. \\juliet was a machine rescued from pc-recycle that a co-worker in ITG turned into an "everything" machine for network installs of NT
