tx for the datapoint. a friend in Dallas thinks the USB
ports are good and that it's a cabling isssue. the tech is
self-taught. that might be as good a way of learning about
computer hardware... .
I may not have to buy a new/refurb computer. the tech is
thinking of coming back tomorrow {sunday} to make sure about
the cables. he inserted the USB plugs *by feel*. blew me
away.
