[Xitami] http file transfer (temp folders)

[Charles Schmidling]

Thanks.  Tried Opera a long to ago.  It was fine.  Just windows didn't play
well with it.  The newer versions feel a little bloated and slower than the
original and didn't do anything for me.  And my windows still wouldn't play
fair.

I usually avoid nasties by being careful where I stick my disk.
