The burn out from the last issues from 2001-2003, cost me some health problems over the stress. If I encounter these problems and become annoyed enough, I will fix it. However, if it is cheaper to buy working hardware, that is the route I will take. You (Alan), if anyone knows anything can be done in Linux, otherwise none of us would have ever put this much effort into its success.
