    Need a New Desktop

    I'm going to give this a whirl. I ordered the Kingston drive, but in 960GB. That's what the current HD is, and we've used about 260GB of that. I'll make a recovery disk (I happen to have a 32GB USB Drive) and see what happens. Thanks for the tip! I remember doing this years ago on another...

    Need a New Desktop

    We're not, but I would at least check them out if we were. My wife had a membership through her last employer, but she lost that when she left. The few times we've been, the parking lot was a mad house, and it wasn't much better inside. Trying to push a shopping cart through the throngs of...

    I just had to know - can I fly a Boeing 737?

    While watching Martin's video, I was thinking... If I was on a flight with both pilots incapacitated, and no one was stepping up to take over, I might take a vote with the passengers. I might tell them, "We are all going to die today. Do you want to die with me at the controls, or no one at the...

    Sounds like a good idea. Would you recommend I add RAM, as well, if possible?

    I'm not sure. I'll have to look into that.

    Need a New Desktop

    Thanks. I considered trying that. The computer did not come with a copy of Windows 10, though. I would have to purchase that, wouldn't I? I have an external hard drive to backup to. That's not a problem. Edit: I just got a tip that Microsoft may give me a key code to download a copy if I call...

    Need a New Desktop

    I don't disagree with you at all. But not everybody can spend $1,200 or $1,500 on a new computer. Sometimes you have to do the best you can with a $500 to $700 computer.

    Our current desktop is a Win10 Home, so he's comfortable with it.

    Sorry for the slow response. The last two or three days have been busy.

    Need a New Desktop

    Yes, we already have a laptop that we do not allow our son to access. Being special needs, he can be a little rough on a computer. For example, we do not allow him to use our desktop keyboard. He sometimes thinks it's fun to pound the keys. He would simply try to carry the laptop to another...

    Need a New Desktop

    $500 would be great. But we would be willing to spend a little more to get something that will be much faster and last a few years. But the one in your link is more than we would spend. It definitely needs to stay down below a grand.

    Finally .... progressive lenses

    I had my annual appointment last week, and my prescription changed a little bit. I'm going to look at Zenni for my next pair. Based on a tip I got, I'm going to see if I can get some matching clip-on sunglasses to go with them.

    NA//Who really is that guy in the next cubicle???\\NA

    Apparently some have an incredible ability to live a double life while appearing normal to family/friends/co-workers. You hear these stories of years of infidelity, embezzlement, committing rape, child abuse, murder, etc., with those who know them never having suspected anything. Doesn't seem...

    Finally .... progressive lenses

    I'm around 18 months into my progressives, having gotten by with cheap readers prior (I'm well north of 50, so can't complain). The first pair was difficult because the field of focus was too narrow. Really had a difficult time at intersections trying to make sure I was clear of traffic both...

    These? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits/nuc.html I will have to look into those.

    Need a New Desktop

    I think it would take more time to educate myself to actually be able to do that than it is worth to me. I have always liked out of the box systems that are ready to go.
