I doubt forever~ for notebooks anyway...

the blue font came back I don't care.

I had to uninstall and reinstall my all in one printer a few times... making sure to shut down everything, unplug it from a/c and each other and keep the virus program from blocking it (in which I was NOT online but had a virus anyway that I guess was "waiting" for that 10 minute window where I shut down the firewall

I have everything on both an external HD and DVDs... but have no understanding of how to use them to reboot if I had to... once Dell no longer supports the datasafe...

BUT the computer is 4 years old and the printer is 6.

So I must be gentle.
