Hmmm... I think that will be like "What can you tell me about a strange rash right around the back of the thigh... asking for a friend."

I'm slowly getting back up to speed on PCs. In the 90s I had everything memorized, but it was a bit simpler then, for sure. Trouble is, once I know all the ins and outs of M.2 and NVMe SSDs, the flavors of Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, and ALC662 audio codecs.... I'll buy a PC and lose track of the updates in the teck industory for 5 years until I go to buy another PC.

But you guys have done a great job of helping me dial down what I think I need!!
