The " new " Baby Laptop

The outcome of the upgrade
The CPU processing speed is - the same   Crap !
But individual windows open fast
And switching is faster

OK What did you want ??

when G mail opens , it is faster sometimes by 30 or so seconds

You'd better be happy sometime

I spent the morning on the ' Control Panel ' opening each icon and checking if I missed something
Yesterday , I found a box that said ' fast switch - OFF '  Where has that been til now.

Weather : Sunny     Temperature on back deck 9:22 A - 27 F
Oops , little cooler w/ bluebird skies

Went luggage shopping 
Why ?
Our main luggage is too big for the ' boot ' ( trunk ) of the cars in England.
M has a medium size , called 26 " , discovered that tidbit while out shopping
I found a 26 size. At Canadian Automobile Club , the store has a price tag - Members X , Non members X plus lots. Of course , you think that you're doing great. On top of that - SALE !!! , they got me.
$357 ----> $112    Bought it

Gun metal gray w/ 8 wheels , floats along , hard shell but flexy 
plastic. And expandable. Thus , you wonder how it gets to be smaller if you can make it bigger.
Ours not to reason how or why ( from ' Charge of the Light Brigade
 , Lord Alfred Tennyson ) , paraphrased

I went to buy a duffle bag on wheels. The plan was to carry two checked luggage duffles ( our ticket allows the 2 ) and a carry on.
I would stack the duffle bags on top of each other to wheel them. The two could be packed separately to fit in available space.
So much for the plans of mice and men.
The 26 - er is returnable - wees a thinkun on this
