Thanks for those links.

You are exactly correct about the laptop, its SATA 2, so any SSD is faster than it needs.

I am really happy with Mint so far.  I switched to using libreoffice a few years ago on win 7, and that made the final transition to Mint very easy.

Next task - business card scanning and software with functionality similar to CardScan.  With 6 K business card scans, I can't just leave that behind, and really still need business card scanning capability.  That one is actually still on my xp box.  I guess in theory, I could try to run it under wine.

The access time as well transfer speed helps with SSDs.

And wine always helps (hic)
