Yeah, if I going to spend time messing with this I might as well go the
whole hog. That way I learn a bit on the way and be ready for the next
hassle.

I can't keep my hands off new releases, always want to know what's been
added or fixed (or broken). That is why I like to keep a second machine
in case I trash something important. It is the best way to learn what
things do and how they do it.
I think tonight will be a late one.
