Meh.
I’m OK.
Looking forward to my new computer and being able to save my docs on a slave. It has been a while since I looked forward to anything on a computer besides Mah Jhong and Spider Solitaire...
The rainy weather has caught me unawares, but I’m doing OK. Most days, no matter what, I just DEAL. It’s all I can do.
But thanks for asking!
The computer will go in the mail tomorrow, if all goes well. Bill will help me pack it.
DP wants to practice music, but my nose is running so hard I can’t sing right now.
Well, we're praying for better than that for you. I know very well about "just dealing."
First I had heard of a new computer though. Good for the T-C family!
For a year or so I've had a spare sitting nearby. We rescued a company "recycle" and I installed Xubuntu Linux on it. No reason other than it was a working computer and somebody someday might need one. Our "computers for the indigent" program more or less ended years ago when one could no longer get Windows OSes for older machines and computer prices had fallen to where most could afford them.
But every time this slightly newer machine gets balky when booting I think... But these are Dell corporate boxes; easy (once open) to change the hardware, but big and heavy. I know nothing about shipping costs.
Xubuntu Linux is a lot like Windows, but with differences -- it's what I use at home and Xubuntu works well on older hardware.
Best of all it has a ton of free open-source programs. More games than you can imagine, OpenOffice, and lots of more esoteric tools such as Umbrello (you do not want to know about UML modeling!). GIMP graphics editor (all the power of Photoshop coupled with the world's worst user interface, until you learn your way around it). Of course, many of these also work on Windows and Macs.
But I blather.
