Don’t want to miss The Big Day Vinny Switches Computers, or
as ochotona might call it, TBDVSC.

That's like waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

Just a thought prompted by a song my daughter texted me. Ask ChatGPT ‘who is Mason Jar Moonshine and who does he sound like?’. Then play one of the songs on the Revived album. Or even better, look up Mason Jar Moonshine on Apple Music or your music source first and listen to a song. Then ask ChatGPT about it.

This computer I bought used for $500 in 2017 just refuses to die even though it is super clogged with dust and cat hair.

It has an Intel i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz in it.

CPU Benchmark has it at:

Multithread Rating
7053
Single Thread Rating
2169

The one I had in the custom built computer from December 2022 (and which I still only occasionally use) has a:

Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor

CPU Benchmark has it at:

Multithread Rating
45863
Single Thread Rating

I am quite surprised at the power of the CPU in used ThinkPads you can buy for $200 to $250. Seem to be about 50% more powerful than what is in this computer.

Before yesterday his name had no name recognition for me. Do not believe I have ever heard him speak. This morning may listen to some of this things at the C-Span web site.

Monstrosity? That’s only a little better than my mid-2018 i7 MacBook Pro 32gb ram and 2tb ssd.

Just the lights, not the specs.

The lights help it mine Bitcoin faster. It's a lot like what Clarkson calls "go fast stripes" on Mustangs.

I totally fell for the Zips brand sneakers as a kid in the 70’s.
