Synaptics Input software update released in October, 2011

something for the touchpad I never use? I suppose it might load over night but do I need to bother?

1. I don't think you need it.

Sounds like an update for your mouse/touchpad/input device.

But if your mouse works now I'd say screw it.

2. oh it might be for the mouse too?

I wonder what the problem is that needed an update - and this was fairly recent too. yeah mouse works fine.

3. What's "dial up"? My 14 yr old nephew asks.

He was four when we got ethernet, 6 when we got wireless.

I was well into my 30's before my first computer! At the time we still had a party line connection (although there were no other parties on it - but that was my very first "computer" problem - couldn't connect to the tubes!)

first laptop last fall

5. Set it up to run overnight or just say "fuck it" - it probably won't matter.
