I sent the order in this morning, about ten minutes ago... now with an additional 3 weeks of time to acquire the materials, assemble the configuration, and then transfer the data I should be raring to go. At least I will be able to go forward when a project comes on line, now i just hope the project lasts in Beta till I can reach 10,000 points. So disappointing old systems are.

Just last night we had sever T-storms, I shut the system off to prevent damage, It took nearly 12 tries to get the system to boot properly this morning. This scenario reminds me of hand cranking a tin lizzy, there is no starter using a key entry system, you have to work your brain to diagnose just why it isn't working like it was before you turned it off last night. Boot up freeze, repeat then fiddle with bios, reboot freeze, change bios back, reboot slow startup missing key icons in taskbar, reboot recover initiated, finally the light of day appears. Hi folks I am back.

I can't wait till this is behind me
