Hi Klaus,

I do appreciate your humor and share much of it, but also
have some sympathy for the poor sods chasing through the
archives trying to figure out what they're doing wrong.

Back around mid-summer the Pi3 was working extremely well.
It really looked like Tier 1 material. Then, I think in
roughly September, problems started cropping up. All
appeared to be software initially. I think most of them
_were_ software. At the time.

Then I noticed a Pi2 acting up. Eventually it failed
completely, with a bad power supply. New supply, it's
fixed. Took a long time to sort that out.

The Pi3 making mischief now is slightly younger than
the Pi2. Both have been powered on 24/7, mostly running
buildworld/kernel. Now the Pi3 is behaving suspiciously
like the Pi2. And, the supply voltage is at the lower
limit of acceptable. Didn't check when I got it, so
there's no basis for comparison. 

It may be that a sound objection to the Pi is poor 
quality in little things like power supplies, cables
and connectors.

Apologies if I'm belaboring the obvious....
