I could give the Pi 400 to my mother as an entry level desktop and she'd be completely fine. It's not like she needs 500GB of drive space.

For me there are gradients. Some tasks need a fair bit of concentration so I can't listen to music with vocals or a lot of dynamics. Some tasks need total concentration and I can't even listen to music at all.

It's a common word as far as I, an American, knew. But then again my dad was handy around the house and we always had tubes of caulking around.

Looks good, but I'm still in love with Consolas.

PSPad used to be my editor on Windows until they added crapware to the installer. No idea if they still have it or not, as I immediately jumped ship to Notepad++ when I saw it.
