No worries, thats my every morning prior to a few cups of coffee.               You can drink an extra cup for me. I never acquired a taste for it, but       am currently drinking diet green tea citrus...over a half gallon a day. Tea       is a diuretic, but better for me than carbonated beverasges.               DC> I'll try the IO bit now that my daughter flew back home this AM I'll        DC> have time to install. I remember McAfee, used to like it pretty well.               That was the first one I used.               DC> Nortons came free with my laptop and I sware it won't uninstall.

And, most anti-virus       programs throw a fit if they detect another anti-virus deal on the system.       The only one I've seen that does not throw a fit is the Sophos Anti-Virus       software.               DC> The only application I didn't like of theirs (since my last post) is        DC> their driver update. It installed an updated driver to my laptop that        DC> disabled my Miracast, which took me a good hour to research how to turn        DC> back on. At the end of the day I had to delete and reinstall the wifi        DC> 6 driver prior to it working.               I had to get rid of Firefox. Something this last Windows 10 update did,        Firefox would never load after a reboot. Plus, it kept crashing when I was       on Facebook. And, I surely don't want to use Microsoft Edge.              Daryl              ...
