Fred Flintstone had a computer?

My sad tale of the day; In recent weeks, my computer has developed a habit of freezing up 2 or 3 times at least, every day. Malware and virus scans are reporting that everything is hunky dory. It might be a corrupt driver or something. I did lots of research, even consulting the manual (See pic on right)

This rekindled my desire to upgrade to SSD. The idea is to make a bootable USB drive, install the SSD using an adapter kit because it’s only 2.5″ and the traditional bays are for 3.5″. Put windows on that, and relegate the old drive to being a D drive. (What happened to A and B? Why does it start with C drive?) Then I will gradually install the programs I use onto this new, supposedly faster drive. Sound like a plan?

Most YouTube how-to videos suggest just cloning the old drive, but I don’t think that will solve the freeze problem.

■ HOW DO DOGS TELL TIME- Our dog has a huge appetite, the vet advised us to give him a mid-day treat of frozen vegetables, which we do at 2:30- Now the dog pokes me with his nose PRECISELY at 2:30 every day. It makes me wonder what other things he can perceive that I cannot.?
■ Sept. 11 2023 ANACORTES WA • Anonymous party called stating that an elderly female neighbor was beating several carbon monoxide detectors with a hammer. Officers located smoke detectors in the garage smashed next to a frying pan with bacon in it. The homeowner stated she was cooking bacon and all the alarms started going off. (Don't they have reset buttons?)
■ More warped prose in this old Stephen King book; "Opal! Diamond! Sapphire! Jade! I smell Gary's Lemonade!" I wonder what his parent-teacher conferences were like?
■ I WAS on YT and ran across an outfit called "TypingDNA" - Serious big brother stuff here! Here is what it does. "By continuously authenticating your workers’ identities by the way they type on their devices, ActiveLock mitigates threats that arise with remote work such as fraud, device sharing, and unattended devices — giving you peace of mind that only trusted users are accessing your company’s computers."
GEEZE LOUISE I am SO GLAD that I am retired, discarded from the rat race back when rats stood a chance of winning.
■ I have half a mind to make some Jello, but put grapes, carrot peels, and other kitchen castoffs in it. Like they do at the juvenile detention facility.
