Yup, the mark/release combo is a mighty fine thing.  It does such a good
job of restoring a system to its original state that it can even be used
to evaporate windows 9x and return the computer to its pre 'win' 
strait DOS state, which I *love* being able to do.

with none of the usual shutdown balloney.
