Welcome to this splendid forum coastal girl. I have high hopes you'll learn a thing or two. I hope your stay with us is fulfilling. The only good thing geek squad and PC repair shops are for is asking questions over the phone and comparing answers with the rest of them. There are some great threads that you can glean information from.
