I_Abibde 11/28/20 11:14:03 AM #398:	I have a good event in the pipeline: Because my employer is still doing holiday bonuses for managers (despite the pandemic), and because this is my first year qualifying to receive 100% of said bonus, I will be able to get a new laptop. Been using this one since 2012, and it has needed a replacement since 2016, but I have managed to keep it alive due to lack of funds. Needless to say, I am extremely happy that I will be able to retire it. Granted, the new machine is not going to be top-shelf (e.g. only 8 GB RAM, relatively small built-in SSD), but it should be able to run most of the games that I want to play, and I will be able to watch online video at a normal speed and resolution again. In addition, thanks to Cyber Monday sales at Amazon, I have been able to get all the accessories I want for it at a steal (e.g. external 250 GB SSD, external DVD drive, USB 3.0 hub, a 64 GB SD card, etc.). Biggest task is going to be transferring Steam stuff (and making sure Steam works in the first place), but I have flash drives for that. --- -- I Abibde / Samuraiter Laughing at Game FAQs since 2002. <cite>I_Abibde posted [p:947693845] in GeekHouse ...
