Bunch of Stuff Update

Published on: by Dio 3 Comments

No kidding, Dio how many months has it been? Yeah, yeah, well… Got two new used computers to replace ones that can’t run Windows 11. Nice pieces of work, but since they weigh close to 60 pounds each being server class workstations, it took a bunch to get them up the stairs into the computer […]
