I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

..Today I am mostly working on my computer...
Actually at the moment, I have a computer that is making sounds...I keep getting these annoying "Notification type sounds" but nothing is there...I've tried to isolate the sound (no success so far.) I turned off all the sound on all apps and programs (yet the sound is still chiming every few minutes or so.)..I check online for solutions....it said it could be the mouse or keyboard.( I use a wireless mouse, so I unplugged it, sound is still there...I haven't checked the keyboard.(I'm working on that though.)...I also updated all my drivers...So far it's puzzling...:huh:

Forgot about this thread lol. Been busy playing chess with @Them lol.

Golden rule Raunch. Never EVER keep a laptop over 5 years! Surface Pro are decent with a much higher starting price diminishes entry-level appeal. Keep in mind accessories & configuration upgrades are pricey. Keyboard base still sold separately & the laptop has USB-C ports only.

May I suggest the Dell XPS 13 (9310). If you're going to spend $, buy the best. Under $1,000. Pending where you shop.

Nice deal especially with a lift kit. I been shopping myself, going to trade in my 2020 Ram on Tuesday for a 2022 Ram TRX. I’ll see if I can get a kit thrown in as well :laugh:
