    Yesterday I assembled a new system and placed it into a Midi case.
    I left the firing up to today.

    The motherboard is a Gigabyte B650 elite or something. It cam with a
    small [plastic casting that turned out to be a guide for the front
    panel plugs that invariably drive us all mad. It is labelled on both
    sides. You slip the tiny plugs into it where indicated and end up with
    one larger plug that goes straight into the motherboard socket.
    Brilliant!

    Anyway I was encouraged to buy this board and its predecessor by a
    local engineer, because it has diagnostic LEDs. As I brought it up, one
    came on. The DDRAM one, I had put the memory strips in the wrong
    sockets. The handbook is not clear.

    Anyway I correxcted that and up it came. I installed put a Mint 22.1
    onto its NVMe and whoopee!

    My wife is pleased because she needed the dining room tonight for 'er
    dining.

    If you had observed my suffering since early May you would understand
    what a relief this is.

    Thank you for all the advice along the way,

    When you have computers as a hobby, you can't own enough tables.

    I could use another table.
