My main constraint on that box is that I have had an offer I can't refuse. A member of the wylug has offered me the loan of his video capture card to see whether it fills my need - it's £129 to buy, so it will be nice to try it first. He is bringing it to the next meeting. By that time I want a stable install. If I have to go back to 9.1 I'll do that, leaving a bare partition to install 10 later.

I had network printing working to this box, but it didn't work yesterday. I know that the lack of time over the past month has contributed to my problems, but it is most frustrating.

I'm not a gambler, but it looks as though gambling is inevitable for now.
