<br>
The system is working again (mostly).<br>
<br>
All of the tips are tremendously valuable and<br>
much appreciated !!<br>
<br>
I would still like to "hire" someone to help<br>
me build a new system because I am 81 now and<br>
I just can't remember how to do everything that<br>
I need to do (with my computers mainly).<br>
<br>
I rsync back up most of my system to 3 other<br>
newer Thinkpads about weekly, but I can't get<br>
any of the newer systems to do things that my old<br>
Mint 17.2 system is able to do.<br>
<br>
I rely on multiple desktops with different screen<br>
backgrounds on each one (so I know where I am ;)<br>
but I don't know of any system other than Mint 17<br>
that can do that. And now that capability is gone<br>
from my Mint 17 system as a result of the last update.<br>
<br>
Frustrating.<br>
