I could have gone

This new chromebook will NOT be going back. It is huge, a beauty and quiet. Actually silent. I've already shrinkwrapped it and put the other one on the shelf.

Acer 317 Chromebook - 17.3" Intel Celeron N4500 1.1GHz 4GB RAM 64GB ChromeOS (Renewed)

$215 total after taxes. It's got come cosmetic issues and is missing a little rubber hinge cover. If I were going to carry it around or open and close it multiple times every day, I might be a little concerned but it will mostly stay open and on this table 99% of the time. For my needs, it's a steal. I'm delighted.

The Yankee/Boston game is now in the 11th inning. I'd really prefer if the Yankees lost but I'm not really invested now that the Mariner game has started. 3rd inning here and the Mariners lead 2-0. So far, this season is GREAT!

I've never had a Chromebook, but I've looked into them occasionally. That seems like a very good price, though I doubt they'd be so cheap over here (the dreaded $=£ equivalence factor still applies sometimes!) so maybe I'll stick with second-hand PCs for a while yet.

I have been really happy with my Acer Chromebook as well - I have the Acer Spin 713 and got it on sale last November. Mine is 13.5 inches - but it isn't my main laptop - I use it for streaming paint videos and doing zoom paint nites.

2022 Mariners

Read this, thought of you.

Yes, this team looks different, with a bona fide ace heading up the rotation and a franchise cornerstone missing from third base, but the 2022 Mariners are here to reassure you that they’re ready to still be the lovable goofballs you fell in love with last year, equal parts fun and frustrating, ready to make you get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Whoever wrote that likely nailed it. :) Thanks, Wayne in Greensboro!

I have two teams, the Red Sox and the Nationals, and at this point I'd be happy if ONE of them won A GAME. :-(
