Nothing To Do

billroperThere are times when the right thing to do for the moment is nothing. I think this is one of them.
Having installed the TPM 2.0 module on my nine year old motherboard, I *could* try to walk around the CPU restriction to upgrade the machine to Windows 11. But Windows 10 is supported until October of next year, so there's no great *rush* to be doing that. And there are other things that I could be doing with my time (*cough* mixing *cough*) rather than messing with a system that's currently stable.
I had considered putting together a new system over Christmas break. But while putting the system together isn't that hard, getting all of the software installed is a small nightmare. And do I really need to be spending nearly $2000 when Intel is still getting their act together on the new generation of CPUs? Maybe not the best choice I could make.
So the right answer is "Do not mess with it." This is usually the right answer, but doesn't scratch my itch to get something *done*. Mind you, given the recent outlays for dryer, fence, phone, and TV, you would think *enough* things were *done*, but apparently not.
There is only one thing to do.
I need to buy a guitar. That's it...
