   Hey Nick!   
      
    > Ah, then I should probably start to expect it in the next day or two.   
      
   Probably.  So far binutils-2.44 appears to be working.  :::knock on wood:::   
      
   The current plan is to update the fidonet node - Little Mikey's Brain - onto   
   an mSATA disk and keep the SSD (sata) as the backup, storage, and /home   
   partition.  I just started about a half an hour ago.  Then I plan to upgrade   
   the MMC disk on the EuroPoint and see which one is better, not that I plan to   
   replicate the same(s) in the future.  nvme disks are the way to go these days,   
   as well as usb 3.whatever in order to take advantage of usb3 monitors, which   
   run on spit which makes them attactive.  I have a 15" 1080p, aka 2K, that   
   steals about 8W from the usb3 connection.  Unfortunately the only system I had   
   that was up-to-speed usb3-wise died due to a too close for comfort lightening   
   strike.  :::sigh:::

    > Good news! However, that's one heck of a large point number.   
      
   It was recycled from a 20 year experiment.  Something to do with 16-bit hex   
   output, although looking at it now I can't recall why 53423 had any meaning to   
   me, given D0AF big endian or AFD0 in little endian.

   See above.  I used to pick ones that are easy to remember given it's output in   
   hex, such as FACE.  Converting to binary for msg headers one is forced to use   
   little endian.  Personally I think binary data should be excluded, especially   
   in headers.
