![]() Well, it is now official (or semi-official, anyway): I have a computer that is a mutt.
Not just a mongrel. But a mutt. Just yesterday, I purchased a Logitech keyboard. (The previous keyboard--which was probably 25 years old, or more--was skipping; I needed to re-type many letters eight or 10 times.) It was originally a Dell system; and I still have a Dell monitor. I have an Acer CPU. (Yes, it is a desktop.) And I have a Staples mouse. (No, I have no idea just who manufactures the mouse for Staples. I just know what brand name is imprinted on it.) But just as long as it works...

In short, you computer was always a mutt, but just wrapped in a nice package with Dell putting their logo on the visible components.

Oh, and one of the crazy things about that, one of the computers was previously used by Human Resources and had all kinds private information on the working hard drive. Being the honest person that I am, I deleted the data. These days, no company would allow a hard drive to go free. |

Just kidding, I drove an old Silverado for about 6 years on just 7 seven cylinders after the rings on one cylinder failed and it wasn't worth rebuilding the engine on a $1000 truck. |
