Moreover, I am intimidated by the idea of shifting files to a new computer. I pray that my 13-year old grandson, my primary computer consultant, is nearby and available when the time comes.

I don't want to take the time to try fixing, so next I'll try the other one.

Sounds like all these matters were kind of fun, though, really.<BR/>My latest toy is the Kindle II. It is not complicated at all to use, for a wonder. The other toy I love is my I-Pod Shuffle. It's particularly nice when I have boring things to do, like doing the wash or cleaning the kitchen.<BR/>And Skype is great.

Congrats on your new laptop. It's always exciting getting a new computer; and a laptop is very cool. It sounds like you are all set now. Looks like you've covered everything.<BR/><BR/>Your story about connecting at your friend's house is very funny, but I'm sure it was frustrating to go through at the time.
