Thanks G. That will take away some of the "mystery".
I did get down under the desk with my flashlight and looked the case over.
No screws. In tiny print I read some instruction--had to get out a
magnifying glass to read the darn thing--on how to open the case. I never
did figure it out. What is a bezel anyway??? I finally decided I am too
old to be crawling around under the desk anyway so I called my local tech.
He will get back with me next week and set up a house call. I wanted to do
some other upgrades like a new monitor, some more RAM, etc.
Thanks everyone for the information and the cheering section. I will surely
need some more of that as time goes on!
