Thank you for that cautionary note, Bryan. That is indeed the sort of
item I was thinking of looking for. Fortunately my wife's laptop is a
fairly newish one and I would hope that it would be capable of this
but I suppose age is not really that relevant; it's just a case of
what the manufacturers chose to include. I will probably try the
DeVeDe route first for my immediate problem, but this could be a
useful fallback anyway.
