17. Don't do FB games

Tue Sep 5, 2017, 04:38 PM

Sep 2017

No candy games for me, thanks. Mostly download the occasional Hidden object or Match 3. They are always .rar files so don't actually get installed on HDD. Some get up to 1.5gb. Shoot pool online. Other than that it's streaming hockey games - most important! and watching TV shows sometimes.

I sorely wish I could update things on my Acer Aspire M3970. Paid $700 five years ago. Been a trusty friend. And also don't want to leave Windows 7. The CPU tested good yesterday. Just don't know enough to possibly update the Acer.

Thanks again, Perfect Avatar!
