Thanks Kyle for your suggestions and offering to work by phone or mail. I must admit years ago when I was starting in a community college they gave a direct " No" to installing what I'll speak of as a " talking computer" in their building. However I have been lucky over many years to have a Teacher a Friend who has stayed the cutting edge, taking me from Dos and nettamer to where I am today using the best of Archlinux Without this teacher I might still be back using dos. Let me also suggest if you do not already use an externalhard drive and I say this as I had a 9 year old computer that just up and died and from there no place to go except with a lot of help I have a new Acer pc which I love as it has all the connections you need right up on the top and up front. thanks for those who maintain and keep this list going.
