This wouldn't be a music making computer. Just a nice new toy to maybe lay in bed and browse on as I watch TV. I truly have so many excesses and repetitions that I don't know why I am even thinking about this. I have all these toys I don't need and I rarely use most of them. I think it's because I lived so poor for so long that now I can afford toys so I buy them. My living room TV almost never gets powered on anymore since 2019 when out of boredom while laying in bed after knee replacement, with a laptop and a credit card (bad combination) I decided that $268 was a great deal on a 50" Android 4k flat panel, so I bought one to replace the 32" that was in there. That 32" became my studio monitor. The old studio monitor came down here and is now that monitor I watch the security cams on. That 32" is not the TV in the spare room I made up there and the studio PC has a new HP 27" monitor on it.

And it gets worse. I keep adding, changing, tweaking... I have a computer connected to the bedroom TV with movies and concerts and such. For internet usage, wireless worked just fine, but no no no. I had to have it on the 1gb ethernet network so I needed a switch. I also have the TV and the Roku plugged into that same switch. That cable runs under the floor and into my router. This bench has 4 computers and a printer, all plugged into another switch that again runs under the floor and into my router. My outside cameras performed like pigs on wifi so I bought an 8 port switch for the garage and a 100 ft CAT6 cable that I ran into the house and again to the router. It's a mess, and probably 75% unnecessary. But like most nerds...

Because I can.

I have given away a half dozen lesser quality tablets and digital cameras to people with small grandkids who otherwise would have no tablet or camera at all, taken in sick PCs and repaired them for donation, often adding RAM and video cards. Once again...

Because I can.

I think donating things is how I justify it in mind. If I buy a Surface that will turn into a laptop I can donate to the Veterans temporary housing facility out in Kent when I replace the 5 year old Dell i3. Shelters of any kind always need computers so people can job hunt and such.

It's truly a sickness. When I think of how much money I have wasted.. LOL!!!
