And the hat's off to Sven Arvidsson for this really, truly, wonderful,
no hassle find.
Awesome. I just printed the test page in less than 5 minutes.
When you consider I spent, between two days, about 8 hours; this is
truly wonderful.
I'm of two minds; whether I should have asked earlier, save some time.
Or, not come quickly with all questions without first trying to solve
stuff. I suppose the answer is a sensible balance.
But thanks, Sven, thanks a whole lot.
At this point, I think I'm almost done making this switch. And I thank
you very much, Mr. Arvidsson.
And as well to all those who pitched in.
