Re: Using Multiple Monitors

I passed this along to two active Zoom users. The first one got back to me, though not in detail.

Re: Change

Re: Home generator

I am confused. If you are responding to the setup I described I guess I did not do a good job of being clear. The generator has multiple 120v outlets. Each had one extension cord going to a single device. NOTHING I made hot was connected to the house [more]

Re: Transferring files desktop to laptop

I've never used one, but apparently with a special cable it is possible. The cable has to have some special circuitry. Otherwise both computers could be damaged if it was a regular USB cable.
