I\u2019m bored and If I do it now, then I don\u2019t have to worry about it later, especially if there\u2019s something that demands me &amp; my computer being up to date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Something insane like a job\u2026 for example. At this point if I were to get a job I\u2019d probably have a heart attack and keel over from the shock.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far the OS seems to be smooth and working as expected. I\u2019m using my big monitor right now. I gotta admit, much as I like having the small light laptop, I really do like using the big monitor, especially with the color depth this thing is capable of.<\/p>\n<p>This monitor could also be used as a gaming monitor, it\u2019s a bit small but serviceable. So the monitor goes in the box of Tech that moves with me into whatever temporary housing situation I find myself in, moving forward. That\u2019s actually funny this is a 27\u201d and I can remember when that was a big monitor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen some computer\/gaming monitors 36\u201d and above. I\u2019d have to have a large desk to have something that big in proportion. I guess you could hang it on the wall of your cubicle or cubby.<\/p>\n<p>The last place I worked at, they gave us dual 15\u201d monitors which was really more annoying than helpful given the amount of data and application windows we were supposed to be juggling. The Windows desktops were under powered, in terms of CPU, memory, and hard drive space, to be pushing that amount of data but as is typical of Corporate America, if the computer crashed, it was the employees fault.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll take my 27\u201d here at home with a computer that could drive two 30\u201d 4K monitors (I think) and not worry about crashing. Come to think of it, I don\u2019t think this computer has crashed on me since I got it. Either I\u2019ve lost my touch, or this machine has more than enough horsepower to do whatever I ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just hope it doesn\u2019t become sentient! That could be a real problem&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll continue playing with this new OS. There are some new features, but none I\u2019m likely to be using immediately. \u00a0But I\u2019ll poke around to see what the new stuff is all about.<\/p>\n<p>BTW this qualifies as interesting and entertaining for me.<\/p>\n<p>I hope your day is as amusing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is one of my internal rules.
