Speaking of the phone s screen as a Touchpad, I dislike when. I touch the upper
right corner of this phone and "swish" a older thing that I have looked at
comes in view and then t have to swipe a finger along the top of the phone from
right to left to bring Firefox back in view.

Yep, I am still adjusting to how to use this phone.
There is always something or someone that keeps me humble.
 But at least I can log on here and use DuckDuckGo to search for things that
puzzles me.

Something I want to ask here: When the computer gets turned on do You watch the
monitor to see if it shows everything being loaded as it should?
I DO because occasionally I have had problems later while using it and have to
reboot to make things work right 
Only my C=64 which boots from ROM gets it all started correctly.  ;:)
