Not yet David.  But often when I offer advice because its a problem I have 
seen & know the first answer to, I do come across as a bit gruff and 
arbitrary.  That isn't trying to be obnoxious, its just because I have been 
there and done that, sometimes even buying the T-shirt too. :)

Having chased electrons for well over 60 years for a living now, there isn't 
too much I haven't seen at least once with gear old enough to have a history.  
But the new stuff I have to ask about on these lists just like everyone 
else. :)
