I guess this is an update.
It was late October of '13 before my ASUS was repaired and back home. Definitely a relief to know it will function for years to come *if* bringing it to the local repair guy remains an option. The machine does what I need, runs the games I'm interested in, and, best of all, is paid for.
Sims 2 and Spider Solitaire have become my games of choice for now. Babysitting a 3 year old makes playing any game where the avatar can get killed by a moment's inattention unappealing. My daughter and her husband are buying a house, their first, and money is tight, so my husband and I volunteered to watch the youngest grandchild. He goes to work everyday, so it's really me watching the kidlet.
She talks a steady stream. If she isn't talking, she's up to something. Orange juice in the SuperShooter most recently. Fortunately, I caught on before she sprayed anything, like the cat.
