I have my back up monitor (smaller than the other one, but bigger than the one on this computer), wireless keyboard and mouse hooked to the net book. So that's better. I don't understand the big guy, neither did the tech from Century Link yesterday. Worked Wednesday night, but now says the cable is unplugged. NO it ain't. And just found out my computer man is sick. Bull feathers.
As long as it's not raining inside or the roof leaks, these speed bumps too shall pass. My DSL goes up and down like a yo-yo some days.
Things will get better. sorry to hear you are having a bad time/Lillian
