Hey Dave, how's it going man? Hopefully you're having a good morning and good morning to everybody here on the Worldwide Friendship Net. Yep, I am actually trying to get a computer setup going here. I've only got one desk in my computer nooker slash shack slash, you know, tech corner. And I've got three or four different computers that I want to get running here. I actually revamped an old iMac over the weekend. I had a great time doing that. Mac OS was running pretty slow on it and it was outdated, right? It's just something someone was throwing away a few months ago and they said, Are you getting used to this old iMac? And I was like, yeah, I'll take it if it works especially. And yeah, it did. It was slow, blah, blah, blah. So I wiped out Mac OS, put Ubuntu Linux on it, and now it's got a permanent home on my desk here because it's absolutely fantastic. Beautiful looking machine. It's one of those, you know, all Chrome iMacs like 2015 to 2017, something like that. And it works just fine. So, the plan of attack is I've got that incorporated into my setup and I use an iMac, a Mac mini M4 running Mac OS, which I've always had hooked up to this all-in-one Dell computer. Another computer just didn't work. It just had an issue with it on Windows. So I figured, let's try installing Linux on it as well over the weekend. So I did. And it brought the whole thing back to life. It's one of those 22-inch Dell all-in-one outfits with touchscreen and all. Even the touchscreen fired right up. And I'd only just been using this thing as a monitor because it had a HDMI input on it and it was, you know, a nice big 22-inch display. So now, I still am using it as a display for my Mac, but I can switch it back to the primary PC input and then I've got a full touchscreen running a, you know, full Linux and all that with the storage on its own. So, basically it's like four computers running here now all at once. And man, I tell you, I absolutely love it. But, try to get it all situated on the desk so everything is in a functional state and can be easily accessed. Now that's a difficult task. Other than that though, not really much going on. It's another rainy day here. Let me reset. It's another rainy day here. So it's going to keep me indoors. But lots of tech is playing around with here. I'm trying to get this, you know, set up to at least be fairly functional. Other than that, I'll just pass it back to you, man. I'll say 73 to yourself and everybody else on board. This is 01 UKZ.
