Add a reminder to her calendar. She's a great daughter (one of four adult kids) and always does more than I wish she would for Mom and Dad on all holidays. She was so excited to get her laptop back. (She was using a Microsoft Surface, and just didn't like it.) She will now use this HP laptop as her daily driver. Many thanks.
