 It dosn't go any more moderné than that. I spent 20 minutes trying to work out why my old G4 iBook couldn't get on the interwebs network _________________ What does an Argonian do when he returns home for a back-breaking day of working in the field?

Just bought a new desktop off my son which is a Ryzen 7 RTX 3060 graphics system (whatever that all means)
I'm too scared to set it up because I just know I will have problems..
Got it set up yesterday, seems ok.. |

| None of the apps are opening on my laptop. I'm having to do a system restore.  _________________  |

| System Restore is also not working. It seems my harddrive is too full.  _________________ |

| I've now deleted 4.5 GB of files to free up space but now my laptop's not letting me log in.
I'm going to have to reinstall the operating system from scratch. _________________ |

| I am now running it from a memory stick.
I'm going to see if I can reinstall the operating system from that. _________________ |

| My SSD appears to no longer exist, as far as my laptop's concerned.
I shall try taking it out and sticking it back in again. _________________ |

| The SSD looks to have gone mad. So, I've installed an ancient hard drive into my laptop.
But its operating system is no longer supported. Therefore, I'm going to have to install a new operating system on that. _________________ |

| I've fixed it! I had to go into my terminal and order it to delete a whole mountain of gubbins from my SSD to free up space. And now it's working again.  _________________ |
