Hey Nick!

 > Ah, then I should probably start to expect it in the next day or two.

Probably.  So far binutils-2.44 appears to be working.  :::knock on wood:::

The current plan is to update the fidonet node - Little Mikey's Brain - onto
an mSATA disk and keep the SSD (sata) as the backup, storage, and /home
partition.  I just started about a half an hour ago.  Then I plan to upgrade
the MMC disk on the EuroPoint and see which one is better, not that I plan to
replicate the same(s) in the future.  nvme disks are the way to go these days,
as well as usb 3.whatever in order to take advantage of usb3 monitors, which
run on spit which makes them attactive.  I have a 15" 1080p, aka 2K, that
steals about 8W from the usb3 connection.  Unfortunately the only system I had
that was up-to-speed usb3-wise died due to a too close for comfort lightening
strike.  :::sigh:::

 MK>> 1:153/7001.53423 works as this reply is evidence of.  :-)

 > Good news! However, that's one heck of a large point number.

It was recycled from a 20 year experiment.  Something to do with 16-bit hex
output, although looking at it now I can't recall why 53423 had any meaning to
me, given D0AF big endian or AFD0 in little endian.

;)

See above.  I used to pick ones that are easy to remember given it's output in
hex, such as FACE.  Converting to binary for msg headers one is forced to use
little endian.  Personally I think binary data should be excluded, especially
in headers.

Life is good,
Maurice
