It's very well thought out (with the possible exception of subslots, which |
| 10 |
I'll leave for others to comment on) and manages the installed system |

extremely well. I'd hate to have to start from scratch with a replacement for |

* Off-topic note for American readers: as far as I'm concerned, "regular" |
