2024 UPDATE: Wow, why was I so monotone as a teen?! Probably because this computer issue pissed me off & frustrated me to no end, lmao. I'm glad it's still working for so many people in 2024! The comments section always blows me away every time I come back: I'm truly glad I could help. See y'all in the future.
