The new computer is a Windows desktop machine. It will be replacing a Mac. I suspect I am going to be discovering all sorts of interesting things about file incompatibilities, especially years of saved email.
There's at least one trip to Microcenter in my future, for speakers, a webcam, and a better keyboard, but that can wait a day or three. Tomorrow's plans involve going to a state legislature committee hearing (to show people care about a bill that will stop Massachusetts police from working for ICE or other federal agencies unless the feds pay for it. (Yes, it would be better to stop it altogether, but this might be easier to get through, and might have the same effect.) That's another political thing I've never done before, but the ACLU wants people there, I don't have conflicting plans, and the state house is now "take the T to Park Street" instead of a schlep to Albany.
Whether I shop for hardware tomorrow will depend on a combination of how I feel by then, and how annoyed I am by this keyboard in another twelve hours.
