[Teddy]

My brother, Tommy Hill, installed linux on my computer after a lengthy hospital stay on my part. He says to just buy another computer. I tried a number of weeks ago to download a manual and all went crazy. I've been unable to get daily downloads or even suspend for a long time. My chrome button in upper right hand of screen has been inoperable. I went icon by icon yesterday and set everything as I thought it should be. I rebooted, got a screen of computer language, and got a good screen. I clicked on upper right button and asked for update. It's been downhill from there. I'm an accountant not an IT person as my brother.
