Hi Dan,
Seems to be working better than ever. The RAM & storage improvements have made for snappier performance (or so Maggie tells me), and would have been welcome even if the old drive had been healthy.
Thanks for your expert help, BT

Dear Dan, just wanted to thank you again for coming by to help us with the computer and the printer. A... was able to start working on homework right away with the printer up and running! and yes my e-mail is working 100%. We look forward to hearing when you are able to put the new drive in. Thanks so much, Chris
