unclutter | Friday report

I've not done a lot this week - at least anything that shows. I took about 7 months of Harpers to B2P to see if the jail library wanted them; probably not, but they moved out of my house. Today I pottered about, in between reading, and tossed last year's program listing for the Virginia and Krannert Center.

I started looking though the reference shelves above the desk B's laptop sits on. Not much left as of yet, but I have started thinking about it. We are talking about getting a desktop iMac for the big retina screen. B would really like that, but that big screen will cover a lot of the bottom reference shelves, so some rearrangement, and possible discarding, needs to be done. This is really a big decision, not only for space and cost, but B's laptop uses Snow Leopard, and mine uses Lion. If we buy a new iMac we will have to deal with Sierra, about 5 or 6 OS generations on from what we are used to, with a Lot of changes. I am the computer person in the house, so I will have to be doing all the work, and researching all the problems, and figuring out how to add a DVD drive, and how to use iTunes that is many generations beyond what I like.

So I may find myself with more computer organizing challenge than I really want to take on. I will really need to clean up all my documents on that laptop and make more decisions that I have been letting go. Deep breaths are needed.
