eep.
dunno if I am up for that level of game just now.
I suppose I could get away with whipping a nice olde NIC from an older
box and just leaving the SKY one unused; might be the simplest option.
But Acer have put 'Warranty void if removed' seals on the case, d*mmit
- so maybe we do have a go with Feisty after all. OTOH I would
probably be opening the box sometime anyway, just wasn't planning to
just yet... gah. hates making decisions.
thanks all,
