Tue 180826 BROUGHT A LINUX MINT OS 2ND HAND 'LAPTOP' FROM OFF eBAY/COST: £40.00+. ----- Yesterday, the postman delivered a 2nd hand Linux Mint 22.3 15.6 inch XFCE 'laptop' computer...4 GB RAM/240 GB SSD...brought very cheaply £40.00 range from off eBay. Still very much in the process of setting things up. Anyway, everything was included:- - carefully, well packaged - carrying pouch case - the laptop machine itself - the charger leads - etc. Whenever you buy things 2nd hand; then, it's very important to 'test' it all...? eBay demands you leave 'feedback'...stating if you liked the item you brought/or, not...; or, indeed, if you wish to return it. This 'feedback' report either encourages/or, discourages other buyers in future to use that seller's eBay store. In this particular case, I feel really pleased that everything is working ok. ----- REASONS WHY I WENT AND BROUGHT IT. ----- REALLY MISSED NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY OLD COMPUTER 'LAP...

Recently, I went and purchased for £69.99 from off eBay store a 2nd hand: - MacBook Pro 13 inch 8GB/1TB ...it runs MacOS...which I'm still in the process of getting used to. NOTE: One of the keys doesn't work...no.P '8/*'. I have to get that fixed.../or else, plug in a USB Keyboard/USB Numbers pad. ----- Concerning Apple produces I've owned in the past... -  iPhone 5/iPhone 7 - iPad 4/iPad Air 2 ...but, none of these items are running the full MacOS.   ----- Only, now, do I have the opportunity to learn how MacOS works. NOTE: I have used Mac Desktop computers inside of college...; but, it wasn't for a very long sustained period of time...; so, that can only be regarded as doing a bit of purely temporary 'experimentation'. In order to get used to an OS...; then, quite honestly, I think, you have to live with using it at home...for a number of days/weeks/months/or, even, years. 6 months is generally speaking the minimum usage/and, experience period.
