LOL - Team Sergeant.
And thank you, also, Ambush Master.
I really do appreciate it.
A brief story - years ago I was working on our computer and had some problems. At that time we had a Gateway. So, I called tech support at Gateway and explained the problem. The young man on the phone gave me some kind of technical answer and I said he would have to walk me thru all the steps he had just enumerated. Before we started I asked him if I any of these steps would affect info. I had on the computer. He said no, so I TRUSTED him (big mistake) and he started me on the fix it solution. At one point he said he was going to put me on hold, and if any window comes up on the screen just click yes and continue to click yes, and he would be right back.
He returned and I told him the various windows that popped up and how I had followed his instructions to continue.
To make a long story short - my ENTIRE MASTER'S THESIS had just been erased by the steps he had me follow !!!! And, NO, I hadn't backed up all the data I had entered in the few days prior to that evening. !!!(Thesis was due in a few weeks thereafter.)
To this day, I have mental block regarding anything even a teensy-weensy bit technical, and I no longer have any Gateway products.
We all have our strengths. Computer tech. is NOT one of mine !
Thanks again,
