That last post got me thinking about upgrades I've planned on this 2019 Dell computer. I haven't upgraded to Win11 yet, but soon will, but I've been meaning to add more memory (RAM) to keep up with the applications I run. I see I waited too long, it is more expensive now (effing tariffs). Also because they're not making the DDR4 now, they're shifting to DDR5, which doesn't fit my older machine. I ended up ordering from Best Buy because Amazon has too much squishy stuff going on with the providers on their site with a lot of tray market and defective pieces making their way onto the site. I'm hoping Best Buy has better inventory control. That part of it cost me about $20 more, so not too bad, but the entire purchase was about 25% more than it would have been in May or June.   

Whenever I start that project, it is going to at least kill a weekend, installing everything, and figuring out what does and doesn't still work. And because it is such a process it means I'll be pulling out disks and gear and moving stuff around. More decluttering.

Unrelated, but something I'm so glad to have found and shared elsewhere, here is a little ditty by Irving Berlin that fits perfectly today.
