[CLUE-Tech] My transition

[Mike Staver]

Yeah, I've used CVS before, but I remember it being harder to use, but 
that was 4 years ago, so I'm sure things have changed since then.  I may 
try to switch us over to CVS after tax season here, as I work for a tax 
company. I'm going to have to get my partner in crime to give up using VSS 
and switch to CVS, but that shouldn't be hard once we look at both side by 
side, and I get that history moved over.  I think the scripts on freshmeat 
did the conversion, I'll take a closer look.
