Hi Gordon, Ouch! That sounds really frustrating! I do not think you should buy a new computer just because of this. We are working on releasing 2.4.0, and I wonder if this will somehow work for you since it has a lot of improvements compared to the version you're using. Wow, 14 hours a day! I wonder if there is an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records for LyX usage? It is our goal that you should not have to know anything about Python, Unix, Qt, C++, etc., to use LyX. Unfortunately, in practice it's hard to achieve that since LyX has a lot of things it needs to work well and sometimes the parts don't line up.
