Monitor For My Laptop

Back in August I decided that I wanted to have a monitor on the side of my laptop.

I thought it would be a good idea, especially since my class started the end of the month, for my thesis.

Talked to my Son who said we should buy a bigger monitor for our desktop computer and then take the old one and use it for the laptop.

That became a big deal, but we found one via pcpartpicker.com. It was in stock at Walmart and it was pretty inexpensive.

After a month or so, we decided that them being "out of stock" of something they said was in stock, was just us spinning our wheels.

This time we used Amazon and even though it was scheduled about 2 weeks into the future, we bought it. Note it was $50 more than the first one.

Six days early, the monitor arrived, thankfully when our Son is in town.

He blew out the dust on the electronics inside our desktop (with canned air) and yelled at us about how we need to clean it more often. :-(

I now have a new monitor and later tonight I will try the laptop with the side monitor on a Zoom call. Our Friday call always seems to deal with looking up stuff and that way I should be able to share screen with the others.

I can't wait.
