Janet, please do not feel put out by this discussion. You had a very valid question and it's good to really talk about it. There is no dumb question except for the one that isn't asked. Asking for help for your computer questions is why this group is here. I enjoy being a part of it and helping when I can. If others tire of the subject, they can choose not to participate or read the postings.
