Hi David, Sorry for the delayed response, I wrote a witty reply that 
disappeared into cyber space following the dreaded darkening screen.
The dual booting looks good, to be the in house expert, ha ha, i come 
from the time when TV was the future, and a "bit" went into a horses 
mouth. I would like to think that you techy young wizz kids would come 
rushing to the aid of the oldest member of Hlug, looking forward to 
meeting soon, Regards John C. septagenerian!
