Can't (and won't), it's Micrsoft, I won't stoop that low. There's only so
many possibilities here, I'll just how to see how I can download whatever
the mindless little thing has, and begin comparing with what it could be.
The only problem is figuring out how to open it up in general, so I can
get that listing. I'll figure it out, the usb site is on the web, it's
got docs, I just hope they're not too huge.
