Think I should have added "method" where when the mb is swapped,
the hdd remained the same as it was just changing the cable
connections.  The method is quite different than doing a "clone"
method to another hdd which is still a different hdd even if the boot
partition is the "same".

I've noticed tho, that programmers & some people on newsgroups are
quite "nit picking" of others & object to being the object of being the
"nit picked" one when statements are being interpreted literally.
