first new computer in more than a decade

Kokubunji, 2021.10.09

I've bought a new laptop for the first time in well over a decade. The 2nd hand Lenovo I'm using now has many problems and I've decided to go back to something new primarily because my eyes are going and I'm literally tired of squinting at blurry old screens. So it's back to OSX with a Macbook Air.

We got lucky with finding a fellow who both new a bit of English and really knew his stuff on the sales front. He even accommodated us on the trade-in of the antique Macbook Air we bought for Mari in 2011. We got some ¥5,200 for that trade in.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
