Windows 11

I can't believe this Windows Media Player Legacy actually made it easier to rip a CD to mp3 then using Exact Audio Copy!!!!
God is amazing sometimes...

Sidebar: Went back to a full sized NuPHY V6 D3 Too much time on the old full sized keyboards, but, need the stiff switches, and the lights. Used the same, big letter caps...

WHY, sometimes, does Win 11 take forever to boot?
Then goes back to loading quickly, when no changes have been made?????

It might be making a boot optimization pass. Either that or you got some updates that installed silently and it did more than usual back-end work during your next startup.

With regard to low cost, reasonably powerful systems, I can't recall seeing mini PCs with Ryzen 3550H CPUs before, but Amazon has several of them today, 16GB/500GB systems that are around 40% faster than an N150 and prices around $210. I wonder if this is a response to the cost per unit for newer but much more common Ryzen 5500 and 5800 mini PCs going up.
