I hadn't come in contact with such a critter yet, so that was new to me. 
I guess they figured on me having 32GB to play in with this new board in 
my main box. ;-) Side disadvantage though, the buffer containing its 
operating profile is in the image, and not accessible to the user as a 
different default setup.  I'd a lot druther have seen that as an actual 
file.  Its also a pita to have to make the output file owned by root 
before I can copy it to the 8G card for transport to the printer. 
Otherwise even a sudo session of mc can't copy it cuz I own the gcode, 
somebody's paranoia strikes again.  Grrrrrr.

Thanks Greg, stay well now.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
