Arrival of the Mini PC

I ordered a new mini PC from Walmart. It was actually being sold by a third party. The thing is 4 inches by 4 inches. Truly tiny. It did not have an old VGA monitor connection. So, I bought a new 27 inch HDMI monitor as well.

I needed to remove the old PC from our library desk. There was a lot of junk and dust under the desk. We had Little Kat bring up a card table from his room. I laid out all the on the desk in front of the old family PC monitor. Plus everything I found under the desk. Momoko and Little Kat sorted through it.

Setup of the mini PC took a while. Windows downloaded updates as part of the first boot up. The new monitor I got had the thing tilting way too far forward. I had to stick a piece of lumber under the base to keep it straight. I realized the family PC has a great sound system. I want it.

I eventually installed TurboTax, now that we have a Windows 11 desktop computer. I am almost ready to file. But one of my brokers does not have my tax documents ready. Step up your game bro.
