Hi Eleanor,
Your thoughts on the annoying touchpad or even a key combination for turning
on and off certain items of a laptop are very good points. It can be very
difficult for someone not used to these features to leave themselves with
audio or internet.

Ah yes thanks Paul, how stupid of me, of course the touch screen just turns
on and off the broadband connection. Now I hope raising these points re Hp
laptop is useful as I was unaware of this touch screen area above the keys
on my laptop and was distraught when I suddenly lost both my sound and
internet connection. It is so easy when visually impaired to accidentally
touch this touch screen area above the keys when getting used to a new
laptop. Thankfully that is now something of the past.
Eleanor
