Yeah thanks Jane, I meant connecting the laptop to the TV. So as my typical last resort, I Googled it. There's one way using a cable and another way to do it wirelessly (that was too complicated.) So looks like I'll be heading to Best Buy for an HDMI cable, connect it to both devices, set the input on the TV screen to HDMI 2 or 3 depending which TV plug I used, and it is supposed to work... Will have to experiment a few times before the 20th! Apologies to all for my being such a klutz!
EDIT: Got the HDMI cable ($25), plugged into the laptop and into the HDMI2 slot on the tv. Then had to use the TV remote (not the Comcast remote) to set the TV channel to HDMI2, and darned if it worked! My laptop screen was duplicated on the TV. So happy! Persistence pays off. Now I can invite a few people to join me!
