   OK Frank. I was a little harsh with you. You've been helpful in the past   
   and I've appreciated it.   
   The thing here is that people are offering suggestions that I've tried.   
   I used ChatGPT and Copilot before turning to you lot. And now people are   
   just following the same routes that I went down on my own without   
   success; they've just picked up the info from AI bots and offered them   
   without having actually verified them.   
   Everybody has their own individual approach to this problem, and they   
   love displaying it in all its glory. But they've overwhelmed me with so   
   much tech detail.   
   I feel pleased that they're trying to help me, but frustrated at all the   
   separate pathways. I don't have time or courage enough to try them all;   
   I can so easily screw up my computer trying out things I don't understand.
