Pauline are you ok up there?...I just saw all the road accidents caused by the ice storm......50 car pile ups ?...it had to be pretty rotten weather ? I didn't see anything about power outages, but there had to have been a bunch with all the ice..?

I'm up early. Coffee's done and tastes good as always. Nothing major, just 8 o'clock brand.

I am up and on my second cup only. It sure is good. Now that my laptop is on the fritz I have to go to another part of the house to get on my desktop. Pretty inconvenient at this time in the morning. It's in a bedroom that doubles as an office area.

Pretty cold out there at 27 degrees but thankfully the winds have died down some. The cold is one thing but coupled with the high wind we have been having makes it difficult for dog walking.

LOL  Since I got the new TV I've been doing just the opposite.  Laptop is hooked up to the big screen and I hardly ever use the desktop.  That will change this afternoon as I've got some web work to do.....

..did you hard wire from the laptop to the TV..?

It's hooked up with an HDMI cable.  Same as you would connect the cable box or DVD player.  TV has composite hook-up too, but it functions like an old tv and doesn't work well for computer output.

That's a great idea. I have a few extra keyboards and tons of cables. I also have a wireless mouse for the laptop. I am sure I have some combo that will work. I'll look at that after I do all my fish stuff this morning. I have a water change to the schedule today.

In the meantime I am also going to order the bottom case for 39 bucks and perform the necessary surgery on the laptop after the holidays.

Thanks Dennis

That's exactly what I'm doing Willie.  Wireless keyboard & mouse, laptop is across the room next to the TV.

Next step is to figure out how to do picture-in-a-picture so I can work on the laptop and watch the bowl games at the same time.  LOL

..wireless mouse and HDMI cable we have....but I'll need to look for a decent wireless keyboard...I've just used a flash stick to store movies on and plugged that into the TV...but downloading those, and music, etc would be easier to watch right from the HD....
