Why are you testing this software if you are afraid it is going to trash your primary system? Did you realize that this email you wrote was entirely unconstructive and not going to help yourself, other testers or the developers in making the software better. No one is forcing you to test this software so if you don't want to, don't think it meets your needs, or is not going to work.. please don't. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
