Hi JD, 
Thanks for your pointer !

My friend is a simple user and only needs a fast and reliable system for
his demanding job !!

With a HW cripple like this we fear that in future it always will be a
burden to maintain the system properly running !!!

Myself I also have NO intentions to play System Engineer !!

Rather enjoy my easy retired life off from more than 35 years in
IT ! ;-)

Cheers, svobi
