No worries. I can see why you did what you did -- given the location of
the machine. I think this is starting to sort out now -- I'm going to
pull out the Bios setup and go software only...when I get a chance to
get back to this -- oddly enough I'm on Jury Duty today -- neat that
there is a wireless LAN here -- too bad that you have to pay :-(

Anyway, appreciate the assist.
