    putty makes the world work. I spend 90% of my day in putty... ssh-ed from a Windows box to various Linux boxes. It has never crashed.
    I also love the download page where you can grab just the .exe by http or ftp. If only everything else could be so perfect and simple.

    I accept no responsibility for loss of work months due to the use of these puzzles.
