Watch out for a possible "Gotcha!" with the Magic-Daemon program. It seems at random times during reboots, you'll get this screen with the SASG logo saying "Workbench Enhanced by MagicWB" with a THX-like audio clip through your system. I had it happen twice on the same day on two machines (one per) and darn near gave me a heart attack the first time as it happened at work while talking to a co-worker. B) It'd be great to have an option to have this pop up all the time or never pop up at all. Daniel J. McCoy // CIS – 73742,3072 AP Engaged! \X/ Render 'till ya drop!

>>It'd be great to have an option to have this pop up all the time or >>never pop up at all. I have been using MWB2 for about a month and have never had that happen yet. Darald Fischer Darald Fischer Baltimore, MD – Home of the CFL COLTS!

I have had this happen exactly once on each of my machines. Interestingly enough, it was on the same day. MWB was installed on each machine on 2 different days. I wonder what algorithm he is using to decide when and/or how often to pop up his surprise? It hasn't caused any problems; it did its thing, then the boot proceeded normally. I wonder if we get it only once per machine, or does it reoccur every so often?
