BIG +1 (or rather +100)

I think this is a MUST!! It took me a couple of years to puzzle out what 
was wrong, (Embedded vs External), and then a few weeks to get it all to 
work - very little info available - all I could do was step-by-step with 
the Forum.

But once you get it all working the difference is amazing. One year down 
the line and not one crash or one piece of data lost!!!
