From the perspective of having to install and use something that I hitherto never needed, it involves more configuration than I would like to bother myself with. A moot point I know, since additional functionality brings with it additional configuration options. Anyway, I have now installed PA and am using it, so it can't have been all that complicated. ;p -- Regards, Mick
