And then I impulse bought a second monitor and a phone.
Well, not QUITE impulse. I've been casually wanting a second monitor for years, and my phone's lack of space has been bugging me for ages, so at work today I researched phones and screens. And Samsung had a white screen. And no reviews anywhere could say a bad word about the Moto G. And Officeworks had BOTH so I headed around there after work.
The phone requires a micro SIM card, so can't actually use it as yet. Still, all the more reason to switch networks, since TPG moved from the Optus network to Vodafone's. Also there are lime green covers for it. Just sayin'.
I set the monitor up as soon as I got home 8D SO PRETTY. It's 3 inches bigger than the other one but the same resolution, which is funny. Also seems to be brighter. And white! Slowly my digital stuff is getting to match the room ♥ The webcam, speakers, scanner and printer are all still black, along with of course the 'old' monitor, but they all still function perfectly and are too expensive to replace just for colour. I just realised these speakers are the only thing from the original computer that I haven't replaced. I inherited them from Colin over a decade ago, and he'd owned them for a while before then. Welp, they'll stay a long while yet.
YAY TECH.
