Welcome back, old-timer (by FR standards, anyway)!
I’ve been in a nursing home from an amputation, fill me in.
It’s good you got your old installation back on a different computer. A lot of the time, it’s a complete wipeout. Welcome back.
Welcome back.
I have resorted to having a back-up computer.
It has been very helpful a couple of times.
I use the Linux operating system on a New Universal Computer (NUC).
Congratulations and welcome back.
I got addicted to the internet 16 years ago and virtually manage most of my life around my computer.
BTW, I have been extremely fortunate enough to have gifted to me both of my desk tops from a dear family friend. She realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to travel to my local libraries and I am eternally grateful to her for her kindness!!
You were missed. rock on.
Welcome back.
We are sad to report that humanity has been up to its usual hi-jinks while you have been away.

Welcome back!
I knew you’d be ecstatic to share in this joyful occasion.
Welcome back. Hillary still hasn’t conceded.
You missed the following eras:
Make America Great Again
Make America Great
America is the Greatest
Welcome back! Yeah, it’s been a pretty tough time for us all since Hillary became President. We’re putting a brave face on it but we’re all pretty much working for the Russians now. ;-)
Glad to see you back.
Hope all’s well at home.
Hashem be with You and Yours.
Glad to see you back!
Welcome home
My old Win7 machine bit it a couple months ago - fortunately, I back everything up on a combination of external hard drive and USB drives so once I got the replacement it was a matter of getting ‘reconnected’ and spending a number of hours over a few days putting all the files back on.
Welcome back. You made the right choice of getting a used computer. Items like this have a "bathtub curve" failure rate. They have high early failures, then fall to a low failure rate for most of their lives, and then start a high failure rate again near the end of their lives. Mildly used ones can arrive after the early failures have ended.
I buy off lease Dells, and then replace them after a half dozen, or so years. They cost only about a hundred bucks each. The only hard disk crash I've ever had was just that, a physical crash. The headphone cable got caught on my chair as I rotated, and the computer crashed on the floor. Then the new replacement disk failed six months later. Other than that.....nothing else. You can buy a $1500 computer and use it for 6 years, and it will be obsolete for the last 5 years. Or you can buy a $100 computer and use it for 5 years, and it will also be obsolete for the last 5 years.
