Ernie...
In retrospect, I am REALLY sorry about flaming
your 800x600 laptop...
my 2.4 gig with all the same things you list,
is now every bit as obsolete as the laptop you're
running...
at my CEDIA meeting today, I got handed USB 2.0
Thumb drives that threw it into cardiac arrest...so
I PROFUSELY apologize!
Well, ya know, it didn't really hurt at all. I said, and I was serious, that it was hard to write because I was laughing.
I still have and love a collection of 78 RPM records, more than 2,000 of them, so I have experienced both "obsolete" and "workaround." And as you have found with your computer, it now joins mine, as obsolete, like entropy, only increases!
