good luck with al of that David.
I hope it is enjoyable, full of pleasant surprises.

I just received a call from one of the folks in the shop regarding the status of my
computer and he informed me that my computer is ready to come home. It has a new and
larger hard drive, along with Windows 10. I was informed that its speed is quite
fast, which really pleases me. My wife and I will be heading to the shop tomorrow to
pick it up. Consequently, I expect, a bit ironically, to be offline for much of the
day as I slowly build everything back up by reinstalling all of the software I
regularly use. My first tas, after physically setting it back up, is to install the
new 2015.4 of NVDA. Sadly, I tried installing it on my iPhone but it didn't seem to
work. <grin>
Next, I need to replace its preinstalled Windows Defender with Kaspersky for my
malware protection. After that, I'll install Thunderbird and set up my email
accounts, followed by Firefox, which is my preferred Web browser. If I can do
all of that in one day that will be a nice start although there's still
Microsoft Office, Libreoffice, iTunes, WinBT for my occasional Braille
translation tasks, setting up hotkeys for my various files and folders, Tapin
Radio, etc.
I will likely not be posting all that much during the next week but I'll be
monitoring this list as time allows.
Take care.
