Please take your time and then reply only if you are sure as I am myself a lot confused about all four questions raised above....so please take your time and then only reply...
I know the above four questions are NOT easy to answer and only a geek would be in the best position to answer this as normal general users like me normally feel lost....
I would really really appreciate a true geek and tech saavy techie to jump in and answer in an understandable simple way to issues raised above...
Thanks as always for your time, patience and effort and its genuinely greatly appreciated...
