I had a bit of sleep, and am ready for anything! (exaggeration)
What you suggest sounds easy, so I will try to back up my files, which is the daunting thing. I think I know someone who can give me some coaching and assistance with putting my files on the thumb drive, so I will do what you suggest in this "Synaptics Package Manager" fashion as soon as my files are on the thumb drive. I think I should be able to manage that within the next few days, and will get back to you as soon as I've tried it.
Thank you!
Doris

Hello!
I had a bit of sleep, and am ready for anything! (exaggeration)
What you suggest sounds easy, so I will try to back up my files, which is the daunting thing. I think I know someone who can give me some coaching and assistance with putting my files on the thumb drive, so I will do what you suggest in this "Synaptics Package Manager" fashion as soon as my files are on the thumb drive. I think I should be able to manage that within the next few days, and will get back to you as soon as I've tried it.
Thank you!
