I actually suspect problem is not computer but connection/setup to Rogers cable modem.
Possibly new version of Thunderbird needs a tweak. My neighbour often gets very nervous
that she is "stupid" (her word), but in the 3 years she's had this machine, all the issues
have been ones that were poorly presented or explained interfaces or messages, or genuine
bugs. And in this Linux is much better than Windoze, but we've still some miles to go.
However, your offer very much appreciated.
Thanks,
JN
PS. It might be that the issue would identify itself as she boots up, and could be
diagnosed over the phone. However, my experience is that folk look in the wrong places for
the log messages.
