The issues you had are exactly the sort of thing I'm hoping to avoid. 
I'll have enough headaches with getting acclimated to a new tour & crew 
that I don't want to have computer-related headaches too.

I guess I should have mentioned that I'm in Nashville.  Yes, there are a 
  few of those close by.  Geez, I'm almost directly across the street 
from Micom Computers, I guess I should at least stop by there and see 
what they have, eh?

Definitely, thanks!!
