Thanks to the nice folks at Verizon - my computer has been purged of a nasty virus that I picked up about a week ago, after returning from my trip to the Dakotas.
I have the Verizon security package thru Fios and they spent over 3 hours fixing my machine - everything seems to be working fine now. I may have missed or lost some emails, etc. If I have not responded please contact me again. I might even put up some scans of roulette chips in a day or two.
Take care,
Jerry
