No, no--I copied about 20 dirs (books) over to a new directory I set up just for this purpose, and
kablammo, it worked a bloody treat. I literally whanged my forehead on my desk (padded with yellow pads, of course--yup, high-tecchie who still has yellow pads. I can't just use Evernote or OneNote--my clients get upset if they hear me typing. Think I'm not paying attention, rather than "I'm taking notes." {sigh}).

Ahem. I have a cellphone that I'm now seeing in "old" TV shows, like
Frost or other BBC/ITC/Chorion UK police procedural/mystery series (thank you, Roku-Gods). When I bought it, "texting" was virtually (ha!) non-existent. We moved, and as we are surrounded, literally, by mountains, where our house sits, there's no cell reception,
at all. (If I walk outside by about 200 feet, I can get a signal. Which is less than fun when it's 115ºF outside.) So, I've never replaced it with a "smartphone," as, what's the point? My staff thinks it's hysterical--I have more devices than digits, but my cellphone is practically classifiable as an antique.
Remotes are remotely a mystery. We have a boatload of devices that all have remotes...I'm wishing for a "One Ring To Rule Them All" kind of solution, but I think the only remote that might do that would be larger than my coffeetable. ;-)
Thanks again, Red.
