    MK>> with more emphasis on the madness than the science.   
    NB>> But isn't that part of the definition of Wizard...?   
      
    MK> Possibly.  I've never looked it up and always associated wizards with   
    MK> magic and the such but now that you mention it that might be a sign of   
    MK> madness.    
      
   The ability to do unexplained (to the layperson) things in science and   
   technology is perceived as wizardry by the onlookers... and, yes, I'd   
   say that a bit of madness is part of the equation as well...  ;)   
      
    NB>> So you are providing a real service   
      
    MK> I suppose.  Mostly I started doing it to learn and it was back then   
    MK> that one of my neighbours noticed it on a scan and asked to join in on   
    MK> the fun and once we got it working his wife wanted in.  They moved out   
    MK> quite some time ago but have been replaced by other neighbours since.    
    MK> I was prepared to drop wireless AGES ago but they won't allow it.  :-/    
      
   You missed your chance to opt out a long time ago.... now you are a   
   fixture and a depended upon one...  ;)   
      
    NB>> So, you've answered this set from the raspi3....?   
      
    MK> Yes, the 32 bit install to be more accurate.    
      
   Right...  I wasn't sure if there was more than just that operable   
   there....    
      
    MK> At the moment I am booted up to the 64 bit install to see if I can use   
    MK> that to kickstart a root file system that is more my own homegrown type   
    MK> thingy.  So far I've screwed it up a couple times but seeing I am not   
    MK> in any rush that is okay as I am learning quite a bit.  Number one   
    MK> lesson is that I seem to prefer my own homegrown type thingy and seem   
    MK> to be jumping through the hoops to make it happen.  If I can get it   
    MK> working (booting) I think it will have been worth the additional pain   
    MK> I am going through as we speak.  If not then it isn't like this hasn't   
    MK> happened before and has been very inexpensive in comparison to past   
    MK> fiascos of this nature.    
    MK> Live and learn eh?   
      
   Sounds like you are keeping your self busy and giving the brain a good   
   exercising...  :)   And it also sounds like you are having a good deal   
   of fun with it as well..  :)
