@dalehileman,
So, Dale, why are you repeatedly asking us? Why don't you ask you son? Why don't you contact your local mac places? One of them is probably official, and some others are mac people, and some will sent a smartie out to your place.
I think you need to get a person to your house for a priced hour or two.
I did that a bunch of years ago and the guy was extremely helpful.
Write up your questions for him or her.
