Thank you for your reply. I'm running v16.04 now, but as you noticed I was running an old version (as I was downloading 16.04 on another system and using a USB stick to install the much improved 16.04, though I'm not crazy about the desktop UI I selected - thought I'd try MATE. Since the installation, I've had only one issue that came and went with a notification.
I will continue to send reports when issues occur and I am prompted to do so. Regards, Rob Mamede Veteran QA Test Engineer/Project Test Mgr.
