And actually, I did take the chance. But after an advertised capability
got errors in a test on "safe" data, not a chance I'm going to try it on
anything important.

I've had to take my Mac to single-user mode by changing something that
“obviously” couldn't hurt. I _don't_ want to try to figure out how to
do the equivalent on my phone!

No, I am not interested in jail-break, so don't ask. When I can afford
to own two of them, I'll be very interested then. :-)

it is when there isn't an existing jailbreak, as with the new iphone 4,
or 3gs with new bootroms and some caveats with the old bootroms.

I would, if it had a Windows version. Thanks for the tip.

No, at the time, I thought the latter was the PC version of Phonedisk
