New computer and still some teething troubles.
Keeps the brain active!

Something I need to do soon. Both my Dell desktop and Dell Ultrabook won't take Windows 11 and Windows 10 is no longer supported after the 14th October.
Must admit the desktop can be painfully slow and sometime chunters along doing something almost grinding to a hault.

It seems these days that a decent smartphone often works faster, doing the same task, than an average PC.
I'm old enough to remember the days of a PC-XT and MS-DOS. You could type in WS for Wordstar, or Dbase and they'd load instantaneously. We've created a world where PCs are vastly more powerful, but application development means many simple tasks take longer. The PC requirements to run Wndows 11 are ridiculous, and are creating an environmental mess as so much perfectly decent equipment is chucked.

My work table is looking more like a NASA Control Centre. I am running both the new and the old PCs independently. While doing important (?) stuff on the left system, the old will be primarily for TV where I can keep up to date with the latest episode of The Royals (apparently a father and son met yesterday - wow!), and I can enjoy the eloquence of Donald Trump and learn who is p*ssed off with today.
