Janet, This is off topic, and I can't figure out how to send private replies with this e-mail client, so I hop the rest of the list will pardon me for sending this paragraph. I've never had a Gateway PC, and did a search on a couple sites. This one attracted me because it has eleven USB ports. I've been able to plug all my stuff in without using a USB switch or hub. I still have a few empty ports too. Also, when I turned it on for the first time, I discovered, via the optacon, that Windows was already installed and activated; so I turned on Narrator and breezed through the initial setup, which only involved answering a few questions about my account name, computer name, time zone, and one or two other things. I had previously used Windows Easy Transfer software to save my account and settings info from the old computer, so I installed it on the new one.
