Amber isn't going to cut it. I'll be damned if I'm going to be crippled
by some GUI that is, for some political reason, able to do what the
non-graphical equivilent cannot. If Amber can do it, so should the
text-only utility, by gum! The idea of two counters for reach resettable
statistic is a great one. I'd expect this functionality to be available,
whether from the command-line or from some pretty GUI utility. If not,
you can be sure that everone I know at Livingston will receive a scathing
email each time I need to reboot a portmaster just to reset a silly
counter. Ok, it may not be scathing, but I'll make it as annoying as
possible!
