Thanks to having some shelves to relieve the desktop clutter, we now have a better sense of organization. The photo above is preliminary since we have some desk lamps on order and we&#8217;re going to replace the aged speaker system with a new bluetooth system. The lamp in the left will be going away along with the old speaker system.<\/p>\n<p>The shelf itself was advertised as a TV stand, but the literature it came with shows it is intended to be a shoe rack (for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/newsbreak\/in-depth\/212529-imelda-marcos-shoes-mixed-legacy\">Imelda<\/a>-wannabees, I guess). Regardless of that, the shelves are now serving as a desk organizing unit.<\/p>\n<p>Frequently-accessed items and the wireless router\/modem get the top shelf of the organizer, while less-frequently-accessed items get lower places behind computer monitors and such. It&#8217;s impossible to hide all the wires, but I think it is much better than it used to be. I&#8217;m sure that as time goes on, I will tweak things here and there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still installing applications and transferring files to the new machine as the need arises. I have the old computer set up in the motorhome out back and since it&#8217;s on the LAN, I can get most of what I need from the old system without having to go out there. <\/p>\n<p>I sure like the <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2019\/10\/28\/new-stuff-hp-win-10-laptop-and-savoy-patriotic-holster\/\">new laptop computer<\/a>. It is super fast compared to what I&#8217;ve been used to, although it isn&#8217;t in the supercomputer category by any means. Still, I&#8217;m enjoying the change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally got the new laptop and external display set up in the home office.
