Category: Good Things

Finally! I’ve got a machine that has some staying power.

The battery life on this thing is out of sight and thus far, I haven’t been able to push the system hard enough to have the fan come on. Something I could easily do with the intel based machine.

Plenty of memory space, plenty of storage space, fast, and useful. I like the keyboard much more that the old one (even when the old one worked properly,) There’s a nice feedback from the keys when you press them.

There are still some tweaks and settings changes from time to time but overall I’m pleased. At the price of this machine I damn well better be pleased!

Truth be told, I bought a new machine last year.  It was defective out of hte box. Long story short, I ended up paying for that machine even after it was stolen from the carrier when I shipped it back to the manufacturer.

This meant putting up with a machine that was failing in a number of ways, not the least of which was the keyboard. There were other things too. strange and unaccountable crashes and behaviors that I’d see but the computer would claim didn’t happen. Uh Huh… tell me that AI hasn’t already invaded our computers…

After a year of my older system degrading. I finally bit the bullet and ordered what I wanted. I got the new machine yesterday, It’s up & running and we’re in the “Settiling” portion of our lives. I rebuilt the system from the ground up, not using any backups. So I relaoded everything and then moved the data from the server to the new system. 

My reasoning for this was that I wanted to leave behind anything that might have been lurking in system files from the old machine(s) and get a fresh start. So here we are…

Hopefully this will make filling out forms and job applications a bit easier, and less error prone.

What I’m saying here is any errors in text, punctuation, or what have you, are now soley the problem of the human running the machine not the machine.

Maybe I’ll even be writing more since it won’t be quite so frustrating an experience.
