Thank you so much for all of the support you gave for the attempted salvage of the old rig. I like calling it that. It has always felt a bit like a ship the way one "navigates" the web and such :) I guess that would make you a bit of a "shipwright" since you have always put your own rigs together.
I very much look forward to the love of this new computer :)

Gratz on the new rig!

Thank you for the well wishes!
