The LCD screen broke on our 7 year old, amazing, trusty laptop computer yesterday. Well, actually I broke it while trying to fix the broken hinge on the lid. There’s no hope of getting a replacement LCD, especially here in Suva, Fiji. Fortunately, my brilliant, charming and beautiful wife and partner came up with a fix: buy a computer monitor and just use that as a display. Here it is…
I sawed off the screen and now it’s a desktop computer. No muss and fuss finding a suitable replacement laptop. No week long hassle of reinstalling programs and configuring them to work the way we want. No Windows 10 and it’s endless nagging about updates!!!
Cruising requires flexibility. And, oh yea, a brilliant partner helps too!
Now we just need to figure out how to mount it so it will remain in place while underway. I’ll get Cyndi right on that challenge! -Rich
