I have a desktop, a 2008 HP vintage, that has been down for a while so I decided to tinker a bit. The CPU fan wasn't working so it was shutting down to prevent from overheating. I found a new CPU fan that I had laying around and popped it in started her back up, got the prompt to upgrade to Windows 10, upgraded and added the computer to the home network.

All of my music is on there and it puts out great sound for a computer. Of course I had it all set up for music before so that's why I kept it. I can also access Mugwumps's and all my other sites on it too. Now I can spend even more time in the fishroom. |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|
