Indeed I did. Wow!

What? In Australia just about any store (and definitely all the major ones like Woolworths, Coles/Bi-Lo, BigW and Kmart) allows full refunds on any product for any amount if it's not "fit for purpose", regardless of payment method (although you have to have the original card if you bought it with Visa... even then, they'll frequently just pull cash out of the register for you if the item was less than about $40-50). Ah, of course, they
have to allow refunds. It's Australian law.

True!

The extra 8GB of ram arrived today (now yesterday cuz I forgot to post this)! We now have 10GB ram in our NAS... 32KB SnapRAID block size! Huzzah!
I also managed to finally work out to send an email from the NAS. Waaay more complicated than I expected. Using sSMTP; sendmail and Postfix are both insanely overcomplicated for just sending a notification email. Easy enough with sSMTP once you work out what settings you need (probably made it more difficult for myself by trying to send it to a Yahoo email). Now SnapRAID is scheduled with cron to launch at 3.00am and send me an email with the results of the sync. I'll check these each day to make sure nothing went wrong.
Now we're installing Java so we can run MC servers on the NAS, then I'll install Serviio and configure that so- [hmm... I've left this untyped and forgot about it]

Well, that was clever. I
completely destroyed my Lubuntu installation. All fixed now, though. And not being a big, heavy Windows installation with hundreds of programs installed it only took half an hour
