As long as my spaceship is still legal..

Binge watching Netflix leads to binge watching xnxx, leads to.. everyone knows that. There are not enough shows worth not interrupting on anything. Really.

HDDs in my 2004 or 5 HP computer I use occasionally still work so far. I THINK the HDD drives and motherboard are original.

My take, as unlikely as it may be, is screwing power supply into case is allowing a short thru "ground" of power supply enclosure or securing power supply is distorting computer case. Possibly sharp bend of power supply wires when iinstalled in case produces short.

I generally use Office Libre. Sometimes Microsoft 2010/2013. Ocassionally use Apache Open Ofice. When I put a "free" office suite on a computer I often install both and let the owner choose. Some people are more comfortable with Apache OO. I want to thank everyone again. It is clear this...

Vehicles have more to do with dreams than reality. Tesla is a real world contender. Shifting is a skill. So what? The fast way, consistently, around a track is traction control, antilock brakes, and 4 wheel drive. And no one would watch it. I have more fun driving a Miata than a Corvette...

I've never had much problem putting Office Libre or Open Office on a computer. A neighbor needed help with an HP Printer. OK, found the software downloaded and installed. (this is a Walmart HP Computer, cheap and slow, Windows 10) He wanted to manipulate documents and print. I believe he needs...

Amazon is convenient. There are hard to find items listed. Closeouts and clearance items. Should you price elsewhere? Yes. Prime two day shipping (if you have someone to receive items or drop off is safe) is great. Walmart ship to store works, just include drive cost, wait in line...
