I'm using external DVD drives anyway, when the
original one wears out in whatever failure mode that usually is. Increasing error rates, failing to launch. It does require the USB port be working though. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Is there one other than Dell? So to then go on to say "it matters not how many folks make all-in-one nachines", after you specifically ASKED that question, is a little rude to say the least. Do we think this guy (or gal) is a troll, guys and gals? 1. He won't give model number, despite repeated asking. 2. He hasn't answered my question about how the keyboard is connected. 3. He hasn't answered the question "is it an all-in-one or a tablet". On the remote off-chance it _is_ a genuine enquiry, I'd suggest returning it (on the basis of the non-functioning USB socket), and getting the biggest laptop you can; that will satisfy the (wife's?) requirement that it's all in one, and have all the toys you could want - certainly at least three USB and an optical drive. I _think_ the biggest laptops (not that I'd put them on my lap!) are 18" models, but there _might_ be bigger; how big is the dud one's screen? -- J. P. Gilliver.

In this case, though, I suspect he really just wants to complain about his wife. He's already said that she's giving him no say in the matter, so there's no issue to solve. |

Well for my part he can either be more forthcoming with the asked for details or he can go sliding down the Bannister (watch out for the newel post). Rene |

Someone who was really looking for help wouldn't be this intentionally uninformative and uncooperative. Also, anybody who was truly as obtuse and confused as this person is trying to appear wouldn't know how to post through aioe. They'd be using Google groups. |

Knowing model number would solve issue immediately. |

Yep, It sounded better the way I spelled it. :-) By the way did you notice he is not even in the proper news group! He said in his first post that the all in one had windows 10, And he is in the windows 7 news group. Pretty badly confused cowboy methinks. Rene |
