Sorry, I must have said it badly. When reading the Pi 4 specs I didn't 
know what 4K (or 2K) video meant so I looked it up on Wikipedia and 
learned how obsolete my TV is. In fact, when my daughter and husband 
bought the CanaKit Pi model B I didn't know what HDMI was. In fact my 
daughter bought us the TV a few years earlier.

All I know is Unix is too good to abandon. And my conservative 
philosophy of modesty is reinforced by new homes being built out here 
with 1/4 mile long driveways: snow happens bigshots!

Young network experts have a busy future. Best regards.

He had to go to the store to buy a USB keyboard. Now I learn that my beautiful TV is only 2K video and the Pi 4 generates 4K video. So I am totally ignorant, yet totally hopeful.
