[Jsonar] I got Jsonar and hsc to work under vista

Tue Mar 10 13:50:06 PDT 2009

hi chris and the believers, big smile
today I discovered something really cool about vista that I couldnt acheeve 
with my good old xp home setup.
my wireless adapter runs like a charm under vista in beautiful conjunction 
with sonar.
isn't it lovely? :-)
