10/12/2017 11:29:08 PM It's really glitchy. And I'm not a techie. Computer is 4 or more years old . . . It sat in box for nearly 2 years before I even opened it and got it set up. Sorry, I can not elaborate just now for sure all that it does that's caddywhompers . . . I'd need to make a running list.
