Well, I am back at it again.  I am going to get the third (ancient) 
computer into the act.  This is going to entail some delay because I am 
going to move the third computer into the same room as the other two 
computers.  (Previously it was located in the basement) When I looked at 
the ancient computers Linux partition (Red Hat), I realized that it 
Unwas unused for quite a while I think it best to install the latest 
version of Unbuntu on it.  I think I can run Unbuntu on it (I'll soon 
find out)  I'll get back with you folks as soon as I am finished.

By the way, it has been suggested that I do a reinstall on the affected 
computer... I am getting to that point but not just yet.  You see, I 
learn the most when confronting a problem and I am certainly learning a 
lot now.  When my frustration reaches a certain point, I will reinstall.
