<grin> yeah, I guess you could say that.

Actually, the reason why I do it is that for some reason, IIS (4.0) seems to
get stuck on certain connections once in a while. It will decide that a
browser is still connected and never release it, even days later. Only
happens rarely, but they add up over time and eventually make the server
think there are too many people connected. The only way to clear it is to
stop and start the service or restart the PC. The restart is easier, so I
just do that.

One of these years I have to get 2003 and IIS 5.0
