Now operating with two monitors
Mar. 3rd, 2026 07:17 pmI ended up ordering a new 5TB external hard drive from Staples on Saturday, because they didn't have them in stock. No fancy expensive SSD stuff, just room to put big files in. The guy indicated I'd get it the next day, although by that it seems he meant today. I got home today to it having arrived, and moving those final two files over became a quick and easy task. The old computer is now officially retired. Though I still need to figure out where I'm putting it, as well as the spare mouse, keyboard, etc. I now have handy.
Though I already knew exactly where its monitor was going: it was switching places with the TV, and both monitors are now plugged into my new computer. Got a brief scare when plugging it in caused the sound to stop working, but turned out I just needed to switch the output back. I'm typing this entry on it while I watch Twitch on the other monitor! Once I thought I'd never want a second monitor, but things have changed lately.
