That’s my problem. I really love shiny things. Shiny things are the newest thing that comes out and looks super cool. Most of the time they are super cool, but not always.
So, this year my goal is to avoid the shiny things and use what I have. That includes using the tools my laptop came with and not searching around for something cooler and shinier to download and take up much needed space on my hard drive.
My Toshiba laptop came with some pretty cool stuff. Microsoft finally got its act together and gave a free version of all you need with Microsoft Office Starter. For once, it won’t expire.
It has a cool sticky notes program and snippet tool, and I’ve even grown to like google chrome and started using the apps that work with it. I like it! I’m organised and set.
I’ve even set a limit on how many programs I load. Most are for learning (biblical hebrew, talmud, talmudic aramaic, modern hebrew, torah, etc), and I’ve got a couple rpg games (Fate).
This new laptop could possibly go down as the only focused computer I’ve ever owned. lol

Sounds great. I need a new laptop but money won't permit right now. I just stared using Microsoft essentials..the free version and not paying big bucks for Norton anymore. Works good
I gave in to Norton because it has a special app that protects you from virus links on Facebook. Makes it totally worth it since I've lost 2 computers now to facebook viruses.
I wouldn't have had the money for the new laptop if mom hadn't given me $200 to buy a washer. So much for the washer. LOL
