To cure myself of The Computer Disease, I keep a lot of computers around. Some people like fancy watches or cars; lucky for me, I never got into that. Those are expensive habits. But I did get into computers. I have three MacBooks Pros. One MacBook Pro has 64 GB of RAM and one of the best Apple silicon chips. I also have two custom-built PCs. One PC sports 128 GB of RAM, the fastest SSD on the market, an AMD ThreadRipper, and an NVidia Graphics card that costs a grand, among other awesome parts. But this is old now. The other PC is good, too, but just a little newer. And I also have a Mac Mini in the house. The Mac Mini is mainly for the kids; I don't want you to think I've gone soft. But I'll fess up that I have typed up a newsletter edition or two on the thing.
Thank to this issue of the newsletter I found the courage to renew my old computer with Ubuntu and dedicate it to fun coding and writing. It was much easier and funnier than with my regular computer!
I met someone that goes to the public library to do deep work because the computers are older and dont have any of his apps on them.
What an awesome strategy. I bet that change of environment helps too.
Just get a notebook! ... and maybe a bunch of displays 🤣
