well apparently the screen failing was a harbinger of things to come and I should have scrapped it then .
it is now dead ... no post ..
I had the box , and it was a decent laptop, just low res screen...
darn I was thinking I could sell it on Ebay for a nice bit of coin ...
anyhow yesterday I got linux on the new one ( win10 has issues that I don't like)
and copied the mozilla and thunderbird file over from the old hard drive
... boom I am back in action..
on the new laptop ..love this screen . the keyboard is a little awkward and will take a while to get used to..
the battery life is off the chart ... I could start to get use to this ...
see what I can get for the scrap old one ..
So the correct answer was go new ...and I took the wrong route ;(
