I vaguely remember donating through a Facebook post before, but I do not remember there being anything about logging into Paypal in that instance that pinged me as substantially different than any other time I use Paypal. EBay and Etsy and other merchants I use it for sure as shootin' don't keep my login information.

Seriously, tech incompetent sister of mine! Just because your facebook page comes up does not prove your internet is working. It isn't. Trust me on this. No, she doesn't know what cache means. Yes, she has worked on a computer for decades. sobbing

Having an issue with my computer: it is suddenly telling me that my user profile cannot be authenticated so I cannot log on. What can I do?

Does anyone have suggestions for a relatively inexpensive set of speakers for use with an old 80G iPod? Preferable that isn't battery-powered? My old OLD speakers are finally dying.
