   I've managed to beat down the urge to get new/different hardware into the house recently, since we have enough older stuff that I haven't quite exhausted all of them for my 'upgrades'. (It's still an upgrade if you move from older stuff to old but less old stuff.)

   I did have a stretch of bad luck with this tower I bought used--tried to use it but it just kept crashing. I think it's a bad video card, but I'm not going to chase my sunk costs on that one.

      I'm back to doing what I had done a while ago: Replace the laptop, demote the laptop to standby mode for a while, then press it into use on the desktop. Was lucky to have cast offs from others in the house so I could press something else into the burner laptop role.
