[ many good reasons for adding Chooser to Control Panel ...]

One reason I like Chooser as a separate DA is that it's much
faster to come up than Control Panel: 2.1 seconds vs. 7.5 seconds
(on a Mac II).  Another is that there's a clear differentiation
between the two:  Chooser affects network-related resources,
while Control Panel concerns the user's Mac only.  The only real
objection I have to Chooser being separate is the DA slot it
uses, and that is something that will no longer be a problem,
RSN, right Steve?
