   Two "new" entries on the first menu, one to (I guess) the old,   
   un-updated 2011, and one to another instance of the failing to boot,   
   updated 2009!!   
      
   I notice posts from Jim and David Hodgins, so I'll check them out.   
      
   I have considered re-installing 2009 from the DVD, but then I will not   
   have the internet connection stuff that my ISP did several years ago!!
