Yea, the new motherboard have the version 1 of the BIOS and needs to be upgraded to work with thumb drives. To upgrade the BIOS it is done with a USB thumb drive and I am going in circles. It has to be a FAT32 formatted drive with the files on it. If I have it inserted, the motherboard does now see if if I boot with it I think.

Yea, computers are fun.

I am also working on a surveyor customers project. We showed him about where to put targets. Numbered 1-12. So he surveyed the targets, and target 14 is 6, target 11 is 7. WTF, and to top it all off, he sent the file as a jpg image. So I “get” to hand enter the X,Y, and Z positions and figure out to name the targets properly.

And the geolocations are like:
473077.6440,212261.7970,1285.1031. If I fat finger one digit off, it is all off. Oh, he reversed the x and the y so I have to type in the columns it a different order. Dang surveyors!
