Well, I'm just going to start a new day Right Now because it is almost 1:00 a.m. here in CST and to be quite honest, New Year's Day was... quite a day.
I have an important question first though -- and it shows how paranoid I am -- but y'all bear with me okay?
Still not happy with the Chromebook. DS tried to work with it tonight, no luck, even with your hints, LadyM... and then ds says, "I have a laptop you can use! It's an old one ddil had and I used, but then I bought a new one on a Black Friday sale and no one has used this one in a couple years probably. But I'll bring it over and you can see what you think. At least it's Windows and you won't have to fool with all Google's differences. It worked fine when I quit using it."
Now... question is... suppose I use this for a while and then someday they need it back.
Will there be anyway they can access anything I've typed on these pages in our little village?
Is that not crazy of me? I know, just delete favorites, if SHEs are saved there... delete any files I've saved on the computer... they'd have to figure out my password for the SHEs... etc... and I really don't think they would care enough to investigate what I had been doing on an old laptop anyway. But I have talked pretty freely here, and I don't want anyone to see something that they perceive as negative, you know?
Is there away to just go back to factory settings, though, in a case like that?
Plus, I really don't think they would ever ask for it back. They are into all the newest technology. Not going back to something they put in a closet two years ago.
Right now... I've got to get in bed. I'm exhausted. I'll give details about how 2024 came in with a bang later...
Suffice it to say, it involved a 20 lb ham, pineapple juice, and pineapple juice which ran all over the oven, the floor, and virtually everything I've touched since 4:00 pm.
When we finally ate at about 7:00 p.m., it was good, however.
