   Both the 18.04 and 18.10 versions I got were LTS -- it read at the site and I   
   forgot to mention that.

   I saw that notification when getting it.  While I wouldn't mind switching to   
   64-bit mode, that would probably break a lot of the programs I use, not to   
   mention I'd have to get matching drivers for my printer.  Maybe I could fake   
   the whole thing.  After all, that's what Vbox is for.  I almost forgot to   
   mention that I burned 18.10 LTS last afternoon.

   Good info and thanks.  Many times I use the D'Bridge internal editor.

   Sure I an, but we're still stuck in the session pw thingy.  How about I mail   
   you one?
