Hi,
Post by Harry PotterT. Ment, I thank you for the information. I put it on my mother's
eBay watch list to purchase when her computer starts working. :(
Ferraro's book (which I've never read) is indeed considered a classic.
Also, what is your hardware setup issue? I'm no hardware fiend myself,
so my machines are old. But I did buy a (relatively cheap) Samsumg
Android tablet and Dell Chromebook in recent years.
If your needs aren't too specific, those at least let you use the web,
email, so you can at least purchase books and videos games and whatnot
without further hassles.
There are, of course, fuller laptops with more advanced features,
so while I've looked in recent months, I haven't bought one yet.
(My old Dell/Windows laptop is getting old, but it served me well
for many years. Again, I still get some use out of it via Linux
USB jump drive. FreeDOS on a separate jump drive is also fun.)
