Thanks for the confirmation, Tim. Since you're the most knowledgeable
and experienced FM/web guy who posts here, your word means a lot.

Nice of you to say so Lynn :-)

Yeah, I guess the basic point is it can be done. I just would never do
it after the experiences I've had playing with it...

But ppl can do what they want - my experience is still that machines
are comparatively cheap compared to years of data :-)

YMMV

Given that I also have had tons of problems getting FMU to be stable,
even when running on a dedicated machine (and after saying the requisite
prayers and burning official FM Inc Incense), maybe I should take all
y'alls advice.

:-)

Though, it would be nice if FMInc would just <fix> the damn crashing
problems in FMU web companion... One can dream I suppose.

only post, rather than post and mail :-)
