[BC] Maintaining old transmitters (IT guys)

[Matt]

Sad when the new DELL computer fully loaded and a screaming fast machine 
at that (that could in in theory run at least two or more stations from

with a PCIe slot! ...  (sad thing too the PCIe versions of ASI's cards 
seem to be "more expensive" than the older PCI versions...
