Due to many PMs/emails over the course of the last week, I have decided to move the Tech Files to Obsidian. This has not been an easy decision, as I most grateful to Mistress for allowing the Tech Files to be at home at the Lair for the last several years. And now the latest update ...

Well I believe we have arrived at a thread that has run its course. Thanks for your input all.

If you've got baggage, leave at the check-in desk ... otherwise some one is bound to have to move and do stuff.
