People claim a computer is out of date every 6 months. I had mine built so all I have to do is replace the part.
Sounds like your still trying to figure out how yours works. You could always take lessons!

When I get stuck, on something, I put it aside for a while and then go back and that usually is all it takes to figure it out.

I know exactly what you mean. I saw all the pieces & wires on the floor all laid out over at his place. I said just the wiring alone is a puzzle, never mind the rest of the parts. He never took a course just picked it up. Use to work at a place on used computers, where he learned a lot of stuff. I said how do you know if you have all the wires correct. "He said", if I turn it on and it doesn't work. I know I got something hooked up wrong!!!
Unfortunately he passed away in 2015. He was few years younger than me. We became good friends in 1993. He was also a really good chess player. Hated both my openings...LOL.. Especially the Pirc Defense. He tried his best to help me. I met him at the chess club shortly after I quit drinking.
