It would seem like changing to Apple might be a larger difference than moving to Win10.

It would be a whole new world if she wasn’t familiar with her iPhone and iPad. Isn’t there substantial similarity in the way things are done?

I may have some time to investigate this. I was in the study just now, unplugged everything, put the box on a table, opened up the side, and plugged it back in. Everything worked, it booted like always. Loose wire or cable, somehow. Put it back together, no problem!

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I've "fixed" many appliances by opening them up, unplugging and replugging all the connectors, and putting them back together.

The hardest part sometimes is getting all the correct screws into the right holes.

Congratulations.
