maybe only partially stupid.  Doubling to 16GB is way more than worth it.

I feel your pain there.

I wanted to add a third monitor.  Except to add the video card, I'd have
to upgrade the power supply and I'm not into spinal cord surgery on my
main workstation.

(I am just finishing updating from Ubuntu 16 to 18 (brain surgery).
tomcat isn't working, I'm sure there are still others.  But this was my
next step towards trying to get df3tools running.)

(Oh, and thanks Canonical/gnome for moving the close button from the
left to the right side. My muscle memory doesn't mind *that* at all.)
