And that Aug 7 2019 date somewhat matches the time frame of all this BS starting. And roughly corresponds with replacing the mobo in this box due to it catching on fire at one of the old boards usb-2 headers. That replaced a 2.1GHz quad core Phenom with a 3.7GHz 6 core I5. And 8 Gigs became 32Gigs. But I am still booting from the same hard drive. About the time I shoulda bought another drive and installed Buster, the Wuhan flu came around and I've been living thru my mailbox since. When terabyte SSD's for under $75 arrive I'll do that, if I don't fall over first. At 86, diabetic, and a ticker full of hardware the xrays show, one doesn't know long that will be, ;-) > Nathan > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >------ Nathan Stratton Treadway - natha...@ontko.com - Mid-Atlantic > region Ray Ontko & Co. - Software consulting services - > http://www.ontko.com/ GPG Key: > http://www.ontko.com/~nathanst/gpg_key.txt ID: 1023D/ECFB6239 Key > fingerprint = 6AD8 485E 20B9 5C71 231C 0C32 15F3 ADCD ECFB 6239 Copyright 2019 by Maurice E.
