Wow...DUHHH.... Some how I got pulled through the looking glass on that old post. I confess to being a kunckle dragging luddite when it comes to computers. Sorry.

Glad to hear the pain is gone!! Sounds like you also got some gear that you like. That can really help. You are comfortable and competent in your physical playing position, and most importantly......You are still practicing/ playing. You are on your way! Enjoy the ride.
