  That would be amazing.

  Understand.  Our old dispatch software was the most complex set of
excell macro's you've ever seen.  It worked great, but it ONLY worked
great on the excel version for windows xp (I dn't remember the version
anymore)

  I consider myself an OS/2 guy still.  ie: OS/2 was the last operating
system I actually understood the internals of.  Windows XP would be the
newest OS I knew.  (I /use/ windows 10, but don't understand it if you
get my meaning)

  Same here... or at least as long as I have unlimited electricity it will
be.  Once that changes, I have to drop the pi on my friends network and go
from there. (He doesn't have room for another tower)
