| schestowitz__ | It's OK, no rush. Seems like you're getting busy over there like we are, too. I struggle to make the time to write in TR and topics I cover don't feel so "urgent" at the moment. So TM took some priority lately... very important to keep people abreast while our 'competition' is unable to function. | Apr 01 10:41 |

| schestowitz__ | That would be so much appreciate esp. as I lack the experience converting the 'raw' product into a plug-and-play with screen and Buster onboard. Remember we use different sockets here (electric). I'd pay for shipping and everything, plus time. It would still be a lot cheaper than a used laptop. | Apr 01 10:42 |

| schestowitz__ | Thanks, I looked that up earlier. I can do DVI or VGA; my remaining (non-dead) monitors don't do HDMI. It's amazing how cheap some can be. Last month we got a 24 incher in good condition for 30 pounds. | Apr 01 10:42 |

| schestowitz__ | In Buster they replaced Synergy with its free fork, Barrier, which yes... I would certainly use as extra space, e.g. for browser. Maybe I can configure it for Nagios alerts as well. | Apr 01 10:42 |
