The REALLY annoying thing is that the old NCK allowed programmers to
extend NCK to handle their app's data....and that it showed it on screen,

I'd like to find the person who made the decision to remove that from NCU
and ask them what they were thinking.....or find out if they even WERE.
Thinking, that is. ;-)
