Your welcome. I figure anything I can do to improve life for developers
is a win all the way around.

I'm jealous! These days my lowly AMD Athlon 4200 dual core is starting
to get a little long in the tooth. It's only a few years old so I'm
about half way to my next system. By the time I'm due for a new
machine, 8 cores, 16GB of memory, and 2TB hard drives should be the
norm. Enjoy your new computer!
