This morning when I opened my ancient laptop (10 years old at least) I received an unwelcome message from windows. It seems that I can't upgrade to win 11 and so have a year to replace my current machine.
I've been doing my best to get enough money together to replace one of my cars, as I am putting at least 2,000 miles a month on them just for work.
I do want to replace my current laptop and I suppose I will start shopping for a used tough book. I know that I don't want one that dies because it came apart due to the dust in my current home.
I had purchased a new laptop in 2000, but it literally broke in two pieces within about a year. I might be able to set up a laptop and not move it, but no guarantees on that exist.
Other than that, I'm back to not writing, because I have been somewhat unable to get my current laptop to boot in the time I allow in the morning to get ready for work. Evenings, I'm usually exhausted from rather physical labor. Still I do hope to get a fairly long (for me) novel finished this year. If I do I'll explore how to make it available through bookappy.
