   Something went right

   Yesterday I assembled a new system and placed it into a Midi case.   
   I left the firing up to today.   
      
   The motherboard is a Gigabyte B650 elite or something. It cam with a   
   small [plastic casting that turned out to be a guide for the front   
   panel plugs that invariably drive us all mad. It is labelled on both   
   sides. You slip the tiny plugs into it where indicated and end up with   
   one larger plug that goes straight into the motherboard socket.   
   Brilliant!   
      
   Anyway I was encouraged to buy this board and its predecessor by a   
   local engineer, because it has diagnostic LEDs. As I brought it up, one   
   came on. The DDRAM one, I had put the memory strips in the wrong   
   sockets. The handbook is not clear.   
      
   Anyway I correxcted that and up it came. I installed put a Mint 22.1   
   onto its NVMe and whoopee!   
      
   My wife is pleased because she needed the dining room tonight for 'er   
   dining.   
      
   If you had observed my suffering since early May you would understand   
   what a relief this is.   
      
   Thank you for all the advice along the way,
