Na. I tried a couple but my mits are too big for their keyboards,
and I don't like the mouse pad or the doodle sticks. And if you have
to carry a regular mouse around with them it detracts from their
portability. The screen was too small for my liking also.
And, since I retired my business, I don't have a compelling reason
to purchase one.

Ya, I did! Naughty me!

That's what I did. The router is mine and I've gone into the second level and did some modifications, besides changing the admin password and the ISP password. Cisco's backdoor has a padlock on it too!

Oh ya!
