   "Old" computer is dying so I got a replacement, or two.
First one arrived no power or monitor cables. Took 2 weeks to get them under warranty. Found out HDMI Video was dead.
Got a replacement in 3 weeks. ITS HDMI is dead too!
Naff That for a game of chocolate soldiers!
I think its a mechanical thing where the socket doesn't line up with the cutout in the case, because the plug won't insert fully! So, I'm running on the old monitor & analog setup (which luckily co-exists in "The Box"), I'll sort the plug out later as I can run on the analog video for this.
So we have the second full install & download of all the software, almost 14 hours strait, ending at 11:30 last night. Today we have the "Master Full System Backup & Restore, with Data" to DVD creation, (guessing 17 or 18 DVD's).
My presence may be a hair impinged on as I RE-invent, beasts of burden, the wheel, track-laying vehicles & so on for a bit.

	May peace be with you. Please keep your sanity. May dreams of Enfields fill your head when you sleep. I see bit of Scotch helps too.
