I'm "stuck" in my beachhouse for the time being, with only my laptop, so I havn't had time to test either. Until I have, I will not endorse either of course. I belive both is just a case of testing, agreeing, committing. And I don't thing it's been dropped on the floor or anything. Things like this take time.
