The little Chrome mini Asus is not the same as my PC. But I got a near top of the line workstation when I got my Lenovo and then added ram and a faster solid state drive. Alas the security architecture was not up to Win 11 standards.
This Celeron mini is not the same. I think it is mostly in the graphics which would make sense. Without looking I'm sure it has a graphics chip that is OK by normal standards but is not quick by my PC standards so there is a lag when I open something. I'll get used to it. Not like I need speed for any reason. And nearly everything I need is the same as I was already using so no real function change.
My IT friend gave me a monitor he had sitting around but the plug is display port and the mini only has one display port available currently in use. So I need an adapter HDMI to display port. I got one from Amazon same day and, of course, it was male to female rather than the other way round. I'm out of practice so I didn't notice. New one ordered will be here tomorrow. Then I'll be back going with two monitors and will be much happier. Once I have that I'll pull everything apart and assemble it neatly and run the wires right and make it pretty. Then I'll be even happier.
Dana's infection looks a bit worse today but we now have a plan. Her normal care physician called us this afternoon and we mulled over the options. She created a referral for a CT scan so we can see that there is or is not infection and if so it is 1 - surface and skin and muscle or 2 - progressed to the bone. That latter one is a possibility that we're not going to deal with at the moment. If the former then we're starting, tomorrow, an antibiotic that should fix the problem. I think it is possible that she's had the infection now since her original surgery and it is just hanging on. She had a reaction to the antibiotic they were giving her and they just stopped rather than try something else. She is sensitive to a lot of the antibiotic choices so it is hard to find one that doesn't cause a problem.
I feel like we at least have a plan and some momentum.
Meanwhile she's moving pretty well. She cleaned out the flower beds today and was proud of herself. She'll be iced and hurting tomorrow but it was good for her to accomplish something physical without too much pain.
I played pickleball and will take a couple of days off again this week. Probably will bike around some tomorrow but mostly rest and enjoy Wimbledon.
