    Wi-Fi 6 Highlights

    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?

    Thanks for all yur great suggestions. I'll have to plug in the old PC and get the specs and post them. I guess I was thinking "ease of use for newbie" as the reason for staying within what I know a little bit about. But I'm open to trying new things so I'll be re-thinking about what to try...

    Thanks for you wishes and concerns, Wiz. I'm taking less pain medicine now so that must mean I'm getting better. But I still have pain and I don't even know what that means. My stone is so small (2mm) that my Dr can't believe I haven't passed it already. At this point, I'm just lazing...
