New Chromebook & Other Stuff.

 My old computer still works. It isn't old by some standards at 5 but it must be acknowledged when the signs start happening. I have been a fan of Chromebook for quite a while for many reasons; when you embrace the concept you do not lose anything if your computer goes belly up, they are relatively inexpensive, compact, and lightweight. I had the Acer Chromebook Spin 314 in my hands in 2 days, turned it on, and within 30 seconds was seamlessly up and running with everything working and looking no different than my old HP. I have been working with it ever since, trying all the things I used a computer for in the past, and not once did I run into something I could not do on the Chromebook that I could on my old computer.

At first, I planned to take my old one to Texas but now I am secure enough with the Chromebook to leave the old one at home.

We are 80% packed and ready to load the car. However, the past two mornings have started out at 18 degrees F. Being the hothouse plant that I am I will not venture forth to do outside work. It is supposed to be better tomorrow.

Next piece of business?- Off to the courthouse for a ballot. A friend says she has nearly worn out her mute button and so have we! We get tired of the ads even for the folk we intend to vote for!!
