Hi David -

Man, for $2800 I could build a heck of a lab with way more than one box. 
Buy several lower-end machines and you can probably get more done.  Just my 
opinion, only worth what you paid for it.  :-)

An observation:  posting multiple questions in a single message tends to 
turn folks like me off.  I've found that I am more likely to answer a single 
question...  So if you have three issues you are dealing with, I suggest 
posting three messages.

I could be wrong tho...
