Your hub had better work right then cos I won't be able to use an
alternative if it doesn't will I? <cheeky evil grin>

With my apps you don't even need that special Hub :-)) If there is
one, then great, everything continues to work.

For me this means I can just start that one application I want to run
and nothing else is required to be installed/configured/run-first.

The rest of the configuration stuff is optional if you know what
you're doing ie for me I guess :-p
