That was one way I could share my sister’s small inheritance and as she loved my children dearly, I know she would be pleased.

That's an excellent way to use your sister's inheritance. And very thoughtful of you.

I am trying to learn to use a mouse with this laptop, hence the double posts, I guess. (Got to blame it on something, right?)

;) Laptops are hard for me to use. The keyboard and all are too darned tiny! So, IMO, you have a perfect excuse!

You can use a keyboard with a laptop. Just plug it into one of the ports. I know someone who does that because they don’t like the laptop keyboard.

Laptops are so compact and so portable and have so much memory these days, that you don’t need all the big clunky equipment anymore.

Next one we get will be like that.
