and gives me all those Sega vibes from the days of stuff like NiGHTs etc.

Uf.  And I hear you on the “last Dell”--my last experience with them was also why I built my first PC!  I’d heard great things about Asus from so many people... going to assume/hope this is a one-off, and I’m just lucky.  (Bad is also luck, after all!)

Yeahp, bought it in June. Which in a way is good, because it means most of what I’ve had done is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.  (Though yesterday the tech in question explained to me that there are no good gaming laptops, and the merits of his custom super-build.  Which I get, I built my last PC--with…

Off-topic computer update: So, got it back on Thursday, just to have it die that evening when I tried to install Windows updates. Took it back on Saturday morning; was told they were going to do a clean install of Windows, shouldn’t take long. Got the call that night, picked it up on Sunday morning. Brought it home,…

Even Zoom does not save those sort of meetings, alas.

Such a relief!!!

I need that.  Meant to be 77 here tomorrow.  No thanks.

It’s made up for anything and everything, today.  And thank you for the well wishes!

We got the good news this morning:  negative.  :D  (I would’ve updated the comment, but it won’t let me edit, so I stuck it in today’s instead.)  Thank you for the well wishes!  

Update from yesterday:  Mum’s test came back negative!  Thank God.  

Thanks.  :)  No word yet, but watching email and phone like a hawk!

Appreciate the info!  Still probably note the thing for me at the present time, but sounds like something at least approachable when I’m more receptive.  :) 

Same, and thank you.  Oddly enough, talking about it helps.  :)

How are you liking God Mode? Because I am really interested in the ideas behind Hades, but I have neither the need or desire to be challenged so much.  I get the point, but honestly, I’d find it more frustrating than fun.

Thanks.  :)
