A bit of thread continuation about the OB new PC saga.................. ;)
OK, OB has rcvd his new Lenovo PC. He is jazzed and is thrashing around
trying to find a VGA
cable to light his Dell monitor. Yes, he used to use a DVI cable, but
that will not happen
until he swaps in his old nVidia GT630 card from the dead PC. His new
Lenovo does not have a
'default' DVI connector. Odd.
Worse he tells me he did NOT recieve a Windows 8.1 dvd+product key. OK,
maybe
Lenovo builds PC the same way Dell does and uses some 'master' glop of
Windows
sw. The notes he found tell him that everything he will ever need has
been recorded in a
(please pick a name) partition on his 1TB EM HD-Oh! Please see the User
manual for
recovery procedures, if necessary. Perhaps this how brand new PCs are
now done, but,
I am sadly disappointed; AND, the damn PC came from _Mexico_ to boot.
I'll hope it was just
a Lenovo warehouse, and, not a 'build' center.
I wait OB's call in the AM when he powers it on for the 1st time.
Best,
Duncan
