Rejuvenating the Broadcast Equipment

 

Long ago, Sassy went on alert in the middle of the night.
She sent her message, "Try me."

I ended up with one Windows 11 box (Best Buy), one Windows all-in-one computer (WM), and and a refurbished Windows 10 setup (Amazon hahahaha) - all doomed to be returned. When I was returning the Windows 11 computer to Best Buy, the clerk asked why. I said, "Windows 11," which was all he needed to know. He slumped. Windows 11 is a warning label.

Getting back to zero left me with a lot of hardware, but do not weep. 

  1. The office computer was moved around and then set up again. 
  2. The chapel created a laptop set up, which will return to a traditional one today. 
  3. The library will have a third option in case of difficulties, the laptop revived.

"One computer alone is simpler" - so true - but I deal with teaching daily (with a one week vacation each year) and regular services and lectures. 

A major distraction was caused by regular, juvenile, subtle break-ins, even when doors were padlocked. The house has an alarm system that records the outdoors and sets off alarms, police, and fire.
