Hi, Dave, so glad you cleared that up. I've always been curious. Congratulations on being the father's father to your grandson!

My real name is David, and I go by Dave. Farfar is Swedish for "Father's Father" which means that I'm proud to have become a grandfather to my son's first son in July. Still a thrill to experience it. So Farfar Carlson is, if you will, a nickname.

Just FYI. Also, just saw in an email today that your name is Farfar, and not Dave. Why do all your emails say Dave, if you prefer Farfar, just curious?

Caused me no end of frustration until I decided to mark the button. Also there is a Fn Key + combination on my laptop that will do the same.

Found I was occasionally hitting the 'mute' button instead of the power button, or by just occasionally by getting disoriented on the keyboard. Have a sighted person show you where the 'mute' button is, and perhaps this can help you, as it did me.

I then need to have a sighted person to go to my desktop task bar and turn my sound system back on. What commands do I need to perform this task by myself?
