\o/ I'm back (read, my replacement drive finally arrived)
What'd I miss
Wowee, the 2.8 beta is out? :O
@X-27 Technically converting comments to answers like that is fine (it had been a day and they even gave attribution), though more explanation is obviously needed. Since it's OP I'd cut them some slack in the "explain the answer" part and just edit in the link and a quote from the page to make it not entirely bare-bones.
