I took this photo yesterday morning (Jan. 12) as the moon was setting out over the vineyard.I've been slowly working with my new micro PC. I'm really tempted to install Windows 10 on it but Microsoft will be ending support for that operating system later this year. I'm getting too old to learn the new tricks of a new interface, I guess. The micro-computer is model no. N97 and is produced by a Chinese company called GMKtec. Here's a link to a Youtube video about it.
Most interested in the "micro" computer... Pauline needs to upgrade and there's not much room on her desk.
ReplyDeleteLooked at the review above and have been impressed.
Just watched another.... it wasn't until he laid out various things that I realised just how small it is.... he covered it with a bog-standard tea bag..... it is tiny!! Smaller by a 1/3rd than her 2Tb Seagate Portable Hard Drive.
Conectivity looks good... two HDMI ports [I prefer two screens.... not necessary for Pauline, tho']
It would need a USB hub with a full size SD card reader... I have a number of those that I use.... so a newer faster version of my independently powered 6 USB and SD andTF reader would suffice... I need to go looking!!
It's too bad we can't update our body's operating systems- mine is 1945 and running slower these days lol. I went to a brunch yesterday and there were croissants, not as good as yours but delish none the less. Good luck with the mini.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh with my coffee this morning. Beautiful photo of that moon Ken. ;-)
DeleteI have confidence that you'll figure out everything you need to know about the new micro-computer. I hope that you can get comfortable with the most current operating system (the one that's already installed)... again, knowing you, I have confidence that you can. It seems like a move in the wrong direction, to put in an interface that is going to lose support this year, but you will make the right decision for you :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moon shot, Ken! I noticed it here last night in a very clear sky. We’ve had several low temperatures in the mid 30’s lately. Much too cold for Florida!
