That's looking like a very attractive option. ATM.

I've spent most of the day trying to make this Win8 machine, and I use 
that word loosely, dual boot. I've created partitions, I've deleted 
partitions, I've made bootable thumb drives. I've been unable to boot at 
all. I've changed settings in the BIOS as if I were testing a truth table.
But at least I have three logical discs instead on one big one.
And to top it all. Elite Dangerous wont run on it. And runs like a pig 
on my old one.

Not to mention Thomas will be bending my ear because I should have been 
talking to the TC-RTC's coder. </end guilt>

That is coming along well, by the way and we should be ready to test 
running two Challenges in parallel. Very soon. :-D

Only if you set it up for me. ;-)
Dr John promised he would do it, years ago. Now he has gone AWOL again.
I'll take it into to work and see if I can bribe one of the IT guys with 
two pizza to F*ck it up really good. :-)

If I'm going to break the warranty I'll do it properly.

I solemnly promise to kick the next angle, I see.
