I've got a cousin who does that, a lot younger than me, but she's calmed down somewhat now. So I'm not likely to be hugged to death this year I thought it was you that happened to! I said niece because I remembered the girl being much younger, but I did remember you being the subject of boa-constrictor hugs during the holidays a couple years back, lol. Heh, I think boa-constrictor is something of an understatement for her hugs I'm just hoping she's not too hyped up because it's christmas, or I'll end up back in the vice-grip again

So yeah- in all the excitement about finally joining the ranks of ESO players, I rather forgot to mention the reason I have been able to do so... the new gaming PC I received as my Christmas gift.
(Those who are easily nauseated by watching someone geek out are advised to stop reading now).
It is a Cyberpower GXVR8020A4 with
i5 7400 processor (3 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 RAM Radeon RX580 4GB 1 TB hard drive Windows 10 64-bit
The only negative surprise was no internal CD/DVD-ROM drive... which will teach me to read the specs before ordering. However, a few additional bucks got me an LG external drive, so that's sorted.
The next purchase will be an HDMI/USB KVM switch, which will allow me to run the old Windows 7 PC through the same keyboard, monitor, and mouse. I could just pull the hard drive and run it in an external drive enclosure, but using the switch means I won't have to negotiate for the programs that are loaded on the Win 7 drive to work in the Win 10 PC.

WOW, what an AWESOME Xmas Present !!!! Ooh, I'd like a switch like that to be able to use the same monitor for my old PC without having to unhook all those wires each time! I wonder how well that would work with my old PC? OH! And if it would work with and XP PC, I might be able to play Chips Challenge with just a flip of the switch ... *mALX wipes drool from keyboard...* This post has been edited by mALX: Dec 30 2017, 03:35 PM

Back from the family gathering, which was good fun as always. Didn't get much in the way of hugs from my youngest cousin, as she might have been a little upset that I was geeking out with one of other cousins when she arrived

In this instance it was Star Wars films
