[partly sartcatic /] Can I have the old one, which you have been raving about
for months? Truly it sounds like quite the setup. If I recall correctly, you
keep some storage back end at some remote compartment in the house. You said
we'd have to pry if off your cold dead hands. *smile*

I don't know how it all fares, price-wise. DIY would probably be cheaper and
there are details step-by-step instructions, as well as distro that make it
a 'just add water' experience.
