I can fix that, BUT... that UI is a bit oddish to work with. But I will
later today add new categories if you guys can figure out what they
should be! Remember that they should match what SystemVersion reports etc.

Well, I think it will get better-ish soonish. :)

True! Been asking for that for... many years.

Well, it is at least SIMPLE. Awesome might be a too strong word. Have
never used Aida etc.

Nope, not good. But didn't dare upgrade it.

I would love help and I *really* appreciate your effort to get into it.
