Took me a couple days to recuperate and get things back together in the 
hotel, but I'm up and running on the old router now connected via that 
wifi bridge, now. =:^)  I won't get much sleep as I spent the nite 
plugging stuff together (after getting it pretty much laid out yesterday) 
and now on a selected few updates in my most common lists, and I don't 
know how well it actually works just yet, but at least it works well 
enough to send this reply...
