brian, thanks for this info. Here's my next question, do you think its possible for me to be able to connect this laptop to my TV via a wire of some sort? Maybe something like a VGA to HDMI, or USB to HDMI? Those are about the only ports that I have on this machine, as this computer is from 2009 or 2010, can't remember which right off hand. Shane.
