"For those who know, no explanation is necessary.  For those who don't, no explanation is possible." Not to be cryptic or to steal a quote, but those who know me, well, know me.  To those who don't, I am not about to give up my quasi-secret identity.  Suffice it to say I have been on this forum longer than ANY of you, Dell folks included.  I am a notebook guru, and and can resolve just about any problem with a Dell notebook.  (Note, I call them "notebooks" not "laptops.") I come out here once in a blue moon to see if I can recognize any of the old-timers on the forum, or to be recognized by same.  However, if you are lucky enough to catch me online, or if I am in a generous mood, I may spend some time and dispense advice and suggestions to those in need before I once again disappear into the ether of the internet.  (Not the inter of the ethernet, that's something completely different.) "Some people say he's a myth...  But I think they're mything the mark."
