Great - thanks again! Once bitcoin core finishes, I'll try Armory again and see if I can figure out why it's not working, but not reporting any errors.

Thanks - have 40 Mbps DSL download speeds. Bitcoin just now changed to one year and 23 weeks, and is actually moving forward. I am pretty sure my Bitcoin Armory was completely stuck and dead.
you won't have long to wait. 5-7 hours in total depending on the health of your download peers. Armory will take a further ~ 2 hours to get set up afterwards. Think about all the disk space (50GB for Core db, 50GB for Armory db)

Mine has been "stuck" like this for days - zero progress indication. Intel Core i5 2500K running at 4500Mhz, but it's not even using any CPU cycles, so who knows what it's doing.. I'll leave it a couple more days, then just give up.
EDIT: Started up Bitcoin Core GUI, at least it's showing some progress "Verifying blocks with a moving number". OK. Verification complete. Now one year and 24 weeks behind. Progress bar about 1/5th complete. I guess it will take some 2-3 more weeks to catch up. Pretty hopeless.

it shouldn't take that long. 3 days would be the maximum, and you'd need to be using 2Mbit/s DSL to get something like that. It's basically a 50 GB download, but you're receiving it the pretty much the way bittorrrent does it, so it goes as fast as your connection. for 50 GB.

Doesn't seem viable to keep a wallet on home computer.

you were right....it's now running (still 
) using bitcoin core. It's very very very slow and I'm not talking about hours but days with a I5 64bit 4GB ram.
But that doesnt matter, just wanted to say it worked out !

Shutdown Armory, start BitcoinQt manually and let it do it's thing. If it is fully synced and Armory is still stuck, I'll need to see a log file.
It is OK and not stuck. Armory can take a long time to load. Just keep it open and after a while (can take several hours) if will load and be usable. The more often you use it, the less time the startup should take.
It looks like it is not good....is it?
It's rolling at the Build Database step, but the progress bar on Initializing is not complete...?
Reset to factory and start all over ?

Probably stuck, But make sure you check it every 5-10 minutes, Once its not move means you have to reset it.
