I hope you are "more better" now, Roy.  We've missed you.

I have one of Roy's 2nd or 3rd generation convertors. I took a chance 
last year and bought a used 16" 4x3 POS led tft monitor, no case, but 
its well shielded, so it is screwed to a couple plywood pieces.  
Visually its 100% usable. $65 on ebay at the time I bought it.  It even 
has a touch screen, which I have looked at with a scope, but have not 
hooked to a uart yet to see what of data actually falls out.  Sometime 
this next winter maybe, right now I am up to my things in homestead 
maintenance, starting with a new deck floor on the front of the shop, it 
was not treated when I put it down sometime around the turn of the 
century & I stuck a foot thru it 2 weeks ago.  My wake up call.  That, 
and installing a sump pump to help dry out the basement, and the output 
line needs to be made into permanent 1.25" pvc.

This machines main drive went read-only in early february, but I was able 
to get all my data off it to a fresh 2 Terrabyter, and the 250Gb on the 
lathe went south at about the same time, so I put a 2T in that box too.  
But I had to reformat that drive just last week and so I reinstalled the 
latest version the LCNC people have spun.  As usual, networking was a 
cast iron bitch, but I'm used to that and can usually sort that in an 
hour.  Then I had to call amanda's amrecover and get all my other data 
back, so the lathe ran long enough to finish a 45 minute job I started 3 
weeks ago.  All this while working on the deck flooring.

I have a 60Gb Kingston SSD (5 Gb is plenty for one of those machines) 
coming for that box as I don't trust the Toshiba 2T at all now.  And 
there is a PSU for it on a donkey cart someplace since those are the 
prime suspects when a box gets flaky.

And I've promised my boys I would make each of them a copy of a blanket 
chest, Green & Green style, solid Mahogany, Gabon ebony and lined with 
aromatic red cedar, to be delivered to NE and KS sometime this summer.  
My middle son, who just got married in December (this time to a genuine 
keeper), the day after we had services for the oldest one (proved once 
again that you shouldn't drive with a quart of whiskey in you and 
another on the seat), just bought a place in KS that Fannie May wanted 
out of really bad, nice 3 Br etc house, a 3 stall garage and a rentable 
duplex back of the garage, closed on it a month ago for $13.9K !!!!  
Turns out that 5 something acres is an un-incorporated town & he bought 
the whole town!  Some folks have all the luck...

It sure keeps me out of the bars, thats for sure. ;-)
