My phone is just going to have to last a while. It's only about a year old so hopefully I can get some time out of it.
I did buy a new laptop at the end of the year. I have an old one that was dying piece by piece and a newer one that's about two years old. I need a decent laptop for work and other things so I moved the newest one to my work stuff and the next one is my playing around on unit. The old one still holds some files that I need to get off there before it completely croaks. But I figured I would get in before the Trumpitarriffs hit.
Yeah, I picked up an old, refurbished HP for gaming in January, and use my slimline for writing and watching videos. And we have Discount Electronics down here, which refurbs/resells computers of all sorts at good prices. They're a couple of years behind state-of-the-art, but I'm not trying to design a fusion reactor or anything.
I believe they ship, too.
