Re: ping

It is sad. It's such a good interface. The lack of a stable 64 bit 
version is why I'm not using it anymore. I use bb4win on my x64 
machines. Works a charm, skinnable, also designed after NextStep.
I'm not any kind of coder, but if I were updating LS to 64 bits would be 
a fun project.
I suspect when I eventually move to Win7 I'll forgo an alternative shell 
all together. I hear generally good things about the interface.
