We just realized that as our “Big Computer” as we call it is struggling and life is not a piece of cake anymore for it. 7 years of non-stop usage. Hardly ever gets shut off…
For us at the time that was the Big Computer…
So always sad when a friend gets old… 🙁

Svetochka gave me the go ahead and I almost have all “ingredients” to start making a new system for her. Of course, getting her to say goodbye to her old friend the Big Computer is hard. That is the way Svetochka is. Yet I am pushing pro-active and not re-active on this issue…
Svetochka? Is all the data transferred to backup? Svetochka? It is almost time to start building the new computer… Svetochka, she is getting old! Yes, I will keep her in one piece and if we need her again… Svetochka? Let go of the Big Computer…
It is the way it is! 🙂
