If I am able to get the same longevity and happiness out of my Note that I have so far gotten out of my marriage, I will consider it a very wise purchase indeed.

My security settings wouldn't let me download the file. Avast apparently detected some kind of threat. Previously, in a similar type situation, it would send the file for testing and then let me install it later, usually about 36 hours later, if it seemed to be harmless. So not sure what has happened here.

Yes, I cannot remember really the point reached but we were discussing it in this thread from franzli ( Screen mirroring on Max2? (And eventually portably Note) ).
Yes, that was the thread. I briefly tried Chromecast with a couple of other devices about a week ago. I could stream content from off of the internet without difficulty, but it would not let me mirror the screen on either my phone (yes, I finally got one, but not to be used as a phone) or my tablet.

I didn't spend too long toying with it because it seemed like it wouldn't be possible to connect directly to the projector without going through some kind of internet connected network. All I wanted to do was to be able to mirror my screen. Didn't see why I should need an internet connection for that. When mobile, sometimes one does not have the ability to connect to such a network.

Both my tablet and my phone had no difficulty in connecting to the projector via a Miracast dongle. The phone runs Android 8 and the tablet runs Android 6 so, theoretically, it should be possible to mirror the Note's screen using Miracast. Hopefully, they will enable that in a future update.
