THANKS TONS JIM,

FOR THE ADDED INFO AND PERSPECTIVE.

I think your seDiments are wise and reasonable.

Certainly would NOT like to increase hazards of copyright hassles. Enough as it is already yet.

WOULD like to see perhaps a bit more backup hardware.

Would say . . . double the hardware be helpful?

If so, what would be the cost?

Perhaps another way to ask . . . are there

any

hardware improvements that are reasonably doable that would make John’s job easier and the system more fault tolerant?

If so, what and at what cost?

I think that’s info that a lot of us would be happy to consider rising to the task of helping make happen, regardless of meager donation abilities.

It REALLLLLLY helps, Jim, for us peons in the hinterlands to understand better your perspective, convictions, values as well as the realities of the hardware and software.

We can feel MUCH better about being yokefellows when we understand the lay of the land and the nitty gritties more fully and more accurately than guessing allows.
