A listener seeks recommendations for a 2-in-one "convertible" laptop/tablet computer, and a "port replicator" device to connect multiple monitors. We like the HP Elite x2 as a convertible, with the addition of a port replicator to connect additional monitors if needed. A laptop user with Cox e-mail set up on a POP server ends up having e-mail deleted from his laptop, and looks for a way to stop deletion from happening. A Firefox user wants to block advertisements using Adblock Plus, we provide a link to the extension on our website.
