I downloaded the cracked version, tried it, found it to be no more useful
than Nokias own PC Suite, so I turned it back into fresh disk space.

Reading this thread, I'm bloody glad that a) I used the cracked version,
just because I could, and b) deleted it.

Thanks to all above. very entertaining and educational read.
