The new        JK> system came "damaged" and wouldn't boot.              Was that a new refubished machine?              If that was a fresh/brand new system, I do hope you get your money back.              Just before Christmas, I mail-ordered a new refurbished laptop: T540        Thinkpad              I wanted it with Win7-Pro and 1TB SSD.              Instead, I received one with Win10-Pro and a lighted keypad.              At first I thought "oh, a *free* lighted keypad upgrade.. cool!" But.. a        number of the keys would stick or click very loudly compared to the other        keys.              I sent it back.              A few days later, I got the SAME hardware back, but this time it had a        normal keypad (no clickyness) and Win7-Pro.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.43        * Origin: /|ug's Point, Ont.
