Post by krwI keep thinking I might buy a laptop and then realise that I have no
idea what I would do with it. Am wondering if the desktop should be
You'd do with it whatever you do with your desktop - with the added
advantage that you could do it in more places. Unless you're a frequent
replacer, any laptop of today (even second-hand - read on) will be more
powerful than your desktop, anyway. (Not that you need any more power,
it just would.) I can't remember why I bought my first laptop (it was in
the Windows 98 era); I think I was thinking I'd just use it when I
wanted to compute somewhere other than home. But it rapidly became my
main computer, with the desktop relegated to occasional use. (Actually,
when I say "my first laptop", this machine I'm using now is only my
second, and I mainly only bought that to have something specific to show
for my 25 years' service reward, and that because it [prepaid card] was
about to run out.)
I used to recommend people bought desktops, but I wouldn't now. Though
at present I'd buy a second-hand Windows 7 one, because I don't like
what I've seen of Windows 10, but that's just me.

there is something in the settings I will never track down.
And I can find no solutions online - you used to be able to google and
someone who had the problem would have an answer, but these days the
answers don't solve the problem.
But you are using a newsgroup! I find the folks in the following
newsgroups help each other with any problem anyone asks about:
alt.windows7.general; microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (despite the
name, nothing to do with Microsoft, and hasn't been for many years); and
even microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (ditto).
(At a guess, the streaming problem is probably a matter of your browser,
assuming you stream via that - if not, I can't help. We do miss
Sebastian - though there are others here who probably _can_ help with
that problem, at least more than I can.)
