I did this a few months ago after seeing it in a comment on /. -- it's beautiful how well it works. Turning off the splash screen is a plus, too. I hate that thing.

Even if you never plan to use Contribute, it's worth buying, just for the FlashPaper driver. oh yeah… I did this a few months ago after seeing it in a comment on /. — it’s beautiful how well it works.
