Thanks for your help, Jarret. I guess I will just return it. Would you have any suggestions on how to make the internet on this PC run faster?

Hi Jarret, I hope you're still watchng this thread. I'm running Mint 19.3 on an old Compaq PC. The internet connection (using a wifi dongle I pulled out of my old Raspberry Pi) is incredibly slow, proportionate to the number of tabs opened. I saw a wifi 5 adapter on Amazon and my little...

You know, I thought 115 sounded strange. I don’t think I can get it to 110 I think there was only the two options. I’ll look at it again tomorrow.

Hi wizardfromoz, My kidney stone has calmed down to a dull roar, so I'm ready to give the printer disk a try. How do I find the contents to post here?

Need I say? There is none. But I've had too many tummy troubles to push it.

That's really bad! Something similar happened to me, Don'd know how it got on there, but not making me happy.

Sadly, so true.

It's certainly a wake-up call when you have to educate the physician!
