    That would explain it... At least you got a chance to spend some good
    time with him afterwards... :)

    And, he appreciated getting that laptop with a USB mouse, 2
    mousepads, an external DVD drive, a power supply, and a case, for
    nothing. :)

    Yup, that worked out well for him... :)

    Linux is becoming a truly viable option, I've known a lot of people
    going to that.... :)

    I need to learn Excel for some desktop publishing. I wonder if
    there's a tutorial for it, with not too difficult a learning curve.

    Dunno, I've never used that....

    Nancy,

    He's going to "return the favor", in a way, by getting his ham radio
    license. He wants to take all 3 exams (Technician, General, and Amateur
    Extra) in 1 session, then become a Volunteer Examiner (VE) like I am, to
    help give and grade the tests. With scheduling, I only test on selected Saturdays...but will help at sessions during the week, if needed.

    Dunno, I've never used that....

    This old dog isn't wanting to learn new tricks. :P

    Daryl

    That's impressive... :) And good of him to be willing to help out, as
    well... :)
