:-) You are right... NFS is legendary... It is one of the oldest
technology today but also one of the most used technology today. 

But you also make my point... For some one to come along (with absolutely 
no NFS understand whatsoever) and simply disregard all of that history 
of how and how not to start things up and simply say the know how 
to do it better... is just a bit...  well... <You fill in the blank> ;-)
