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.

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

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.
