<div>I have a laptop,received G1G1. I would like to understand it. I have never done any networking, although I have used Windows computers. Presently I have an IBM XP Home edition. I hope to get some literature from my library about Linux and about networking.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have managed to open the G1G1. I expect the space at the top of the screen which shows an opportunity to type has a purpose, but nowhere do I find any suggestion of its use. It may be that some code letters will get me further but I have seen warnings about what one "posts" and I don't want to ruin the computer.

<div>On the neighborhood I found three icons for mesh. I also found some others, not members, but stations, with padlocks. I haven't found how to unlock them. One said "Crestwood", which just might be mine! I haven't found that there are any members in Indiana yet.
</div>
<div>That Crestwood icon was gone today--what does that mean?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you suggest where to go for the answers? Thanks, JaneB</div>
