Hi Ed,

Great - thanks a lot for that! Local to AU too!
This isn't for me of course - it's for my friend in Brisbane.
Slow On-board video will be no problem whatsoever!

Although as Eugene Gorbunoff replied to me recently - when inquiring 
about usage of Panorama - the drivers are mainly intended for Laptops 
that no longer have SNAP support - I could try it on a Desktop!

Now to go and see the sticker-shock on the item! :-)
Regards,
Mike
