I have switched from XAA to EXA, and for whatever reason, it decided to
work, and I am having a hard time breaking it again.

I'm not holding my breath, though, it wouldn't be the first time I
though all would be well, and it would break again the next day.

If, and that is a big "if", going to EXA is the solution, could anyone
spend a tiny bit of time and care to explain why it is, what I am
gaining and what I am losing?

Keith, anyone?

Thanks for your hints/help/time.

Nico
