Thanks for the words of encouragement, Marcus.  I probably didn't need 
to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 since that platform is dedicated to GRC and 
the E310.  I should've taken the approach to update the OS only if 
updating GRC requires it.  I just can't seem to resist those Unity 
Updater prompts to upgrade and forgetting that GRC ready-to-go packages, 
unlike other apps from repos, don't necessarily exist (but I sure wish 
they did).  Sincerely,

is because capitalism is not really an ism at all. It is what people do if you 
leave them alone.
