I got a big-ass desktop in front of me. I don't know why my son placed
his Windows computer on this table but it's crowding my little
Chromebook out of space. My son used the table to change the MB and
processor and drives. It's super fast but it's still Windows OS which
makes it a legacy computer of the old days. The idea of working on a
computer like it's 1990 just depresses me. You know how the old
mainframe computers were huge, required a lot of power, and needed a
dedicated cooling system? That's a good description of legacy Windows
desktop computers. The good news is that I'll soon be leaving this veil
of toil and sin.

Cheer up, and gets Yooseself a Ford Falcon...!!!
Curbside Classic: 1961 Falcon – How To Build A Winning Compact

"Didn’t Ford get it right in 1960? It certainly won the compact war that
launched that year...  The story of the Falcon is that rare triumph of
rationality in Detroit...
The Falcon was conceived under the reign of Robert McNamara, that
paragon of the rational and pragmatic manager. He oversaw every unloving
detail, and the end result speaks for itself: a very compact car that
weighed a mere 2400 lbs yet could sit six (slim) adults in an interior
not all that much smaller than a big Ford. Its 20-25 mpg was a huge
improvement over the big cars too. No frills anywhere, and a sub $2000
price to go right up against the imports. Take that, Volkswagen!
Some have thrown aspersions at the Falcon, that it was designed to be a
“disposable” car. How do you explain this 65 year - old daily driver?
Old Falcons are easy enough to keep running forever...
Seems like the 1st gen Falcon was the first ‘forever’ car, at least for
a domestic...
A regularly maintained Falcon could still work as basic, routine Point-A
to Point-B transportation, with the most minimal of fuss, even in
today’s world. It’s not likely the same could be said for just about any
other 65 year old car..."
