Hi;
Two or three heads are often better than one.  I have been accumulating 
suggestions and I am on my sons waiting list.  That way if I trash my wife's 
lap top its not totally my fault.  I know raw courage isn't it.

I'm not a computer expert, so when I have a problem I can't solve myself,
I ask a sighted friend who is excellent with PC's to come over and help
me.  I also tell him, "My mouse is getting fat and lazy and it needs to be
exercised."  If I didn't have someone knowledgeable to help me, I'd have
to spend big bucks.  Before you start flaming me, I'm a yl and I'm not
ashamed to ask for help when I'm in water over my head.  That goes for ham
radio, too.  I don't erect my own antennas.

well, I have the solve all for the sighted issue, every time I've ever let
some one else use 1 of my computers it's ended up with spyware or messed up
royally so just don't let anyone touch my computers.  Not possible for some
people I know but that's how I handle that and my computers run a lot better
and last a lot longer for it.
