And don't forget the other two major features:
-You only install it once, and can edit the bootmenu freely when you add
more operating systems (gotta collect 'em all)
-Got a new OS you want to see if boots? Use the GRUB command line

LILO didn't want to boot my ZIP disks, either, but GRUB did.
Completely without fuss.
