I knew better than go there. I also wasn't looking to spend a lot of money to keep my old desktop connected to the InterWeb. This was under $20 and some of my time to figure out the driver. My Rhino thumb drive is actually bigger than the device. ================================================= I'm revisiting this tech in 2019.

WTF 2

Well, I went to the ER Quick and painless...except for removing the stickies from monitor pads. Bell's Palsy is the diagnosis. A facial nerve acting up. Some small steroid treatment, may or may not help. Take some pills for a few days.  It should not happen again.  I certainly hope not.
