Thanks, Village Idiot, for your response.
Your point is well taken.
When Simon went to https:, the Apple immediately went basic, as described. He explained to me the possible reasons. The DELL has never ceased functioning properly on any and all websites.
RE: Facebook: iPhoto on Apple is terrific, but as of yesterday, I can no longer post photos from it onto Facebook. So, I have to email photos to my DELL and download them there. Then, I can post them here, FB, anywhere. And the DELL is, by far, the cheaper of the two computers.
Sorry to go off track here. Hope it all works out for you.
