Dear Cassi,
It was on the 25th of April that I took home a new
desktop computer. It had been a long time coming and the old unit was feeling
its years. Still, I had wanted a rebuild rather than a full new unit but that’s
what I have now.
A point that came up is that my computer was very large and
still the new body is larger. This led to a frustrating fight to get the new
unit into the old desk. It took me more than a week and at least a few hundred
dollars with cords and equipment. Now the new unit stand and the desk with a
vintage IBM body sitting under the second monitor. The first and large flat
screen is suspended on an arm over the desk. One of my laptops sits and another
arm to my right so that I have three screens running at once when I need them.
This is a rig for doing all the things I dream of, little
sister, it’s the morning of a holiday when the air is clear and the birds are
singing. This is possibility and dexterity in a black mesh frame.
However, I’ll most likely use it to play video games and watch
movies. Well, I will get thousands of hours of fun out of it and that counts.
Reach for your potential, little sister
Richard Leland Neal
