Hello Maurice.

Thems the breaks I suppose, win some loose some, and others just get lost 
along the wayside ...

Tho, before playing with a HDTV version, I will have to "upgrade" my 160Gig 
HDD, as HDTV is wastefull of HDD real estate ...

It never quiet worked here, might have made more effort to make it work, if it 
had showed promise, which it did not do here ... <shrug> is a moot point now 
as it is gone ...

Not likely in this life time, but if I could get a fibe connection to a box 
300 meters down the street, well who knows ... VVBEG>

Might be, also might need to flash the BIOS - never seen a need for it - it 
might help, might not ... , maybe I should try it and see what the latest and 
greatest in that deparmrnt will get me, as the few "notes" I have seen in that 
regard are not that informative ...

Well, both remaining USB flash disks here are Transend branded, so should not 
be too "crappy" the others that I had, have gotten "feet", that forgot where 
home is ... :-((

Also the USB 2.0 ports on the case the Gigabyte board is in, are broken - need 
new headers ...
