There have been many posts in other forums on scams selling fake ssd's on ebay. Just Google Scam SSD and ebay and you will find many links to click on. If it is too good to be true, it is. Go with Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital.

Foxglove, technically known as Digitalis purpurea, is used to make digitalis or digoxin, a heart medication. It is poisonous.

If you don't want to pay the price for the XPS, which is undoubtedly an excellent laptop (except for lack of ports), I have been using a Dell G15 that I got in the Spring. They make a 17 inch version. It is a "gaming computer" with a discrete NVIDIA graphic processor, 16 GB Ram and a 1 T SSB. It ably runs both the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop. It is heavier than the XPS, but has more ports. I use it with an external monitor.

Obviously, you limit your diving to tropical waters. At my age (76), I tend to wear a wetsuit more often than not, although I have now given up scuba diving.

Now you are really dating yourself!

Should I know Jose? Never heard of him.

Thank you for the excellent suggestion. The Adobe support person I worked with through "Chat" was excellent. He did a remote takeover of my computer. I am not sure what he did differently than I did, but we were able to do a borderless print.

This Spring I bought a new laptop (Dell) and upgraded from Lightroom 6 to Lightroom Classic. Previously, with the same printer (Canon multifunction TR8620) and my old laptop, I was able to print borderless prints from Lightroom 6 without problems. Yesterday, I tried making some prints of my Grandchildren using Lightroom Classic and the same printer. I was unable to make a borderless print in Lightroom. I was using 8 1/2 x 11 Canon photo paper. I had checked the "Zoom to fit" in Lightroom, on "page setup," which takes you to the menu for the Canon printer, I chose borderless print and selected maximum "extension." I was unable to set the margins in Lightroom at zero. It printed as shown on the screen, which produced a narrow white border around the print. I was able to print borderless by right clicking on the photo in Lightroom and selecting "edit in" and "open as a smart object in Photoshop." This opened the picture in Photoshop and I was able to print borderless with no problem in Photoshop. While this is a workaround, it seems unnecessary. What am I doing wrong in Lightroom?

Nicely done!

I used to run CCleaner on my computers years ago. However, I have read multiple articles from "experts" that say the registry does not need to be "cleaned" and to take the approach of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I stopped using registry cleaners and have not had any problems as a result.

I got a G15 about 3 months ago. to replace a 9 year old Dell laptop running Windows 8.1 It took me about 2 months to get it running smoothly. Literally, the first day I started setting it up, I got repeated BSOD's. I am quite computer literate, but fortunately I decided to spring for Dell's premium support service. First time I have done that over many computer purchases. Fortunately, I found their premium support to be excellent. No waiting on the phone. You send them an email or text, and within 30 minutes someone who knows what they are doing calls you back. After repeated attempts to cure the problem with my first G-15, Dell expedited a replacement. And the second one did the same thing!!!--repeated BSOD's. By that point, I was elevated to a senior support person. He had me delete everything on the SSD and download a clean copy of Windows 11. That solved the problem, but, of course, I had to download and reinstall all my programs; a time-consuming process.
Hopefully, your experience is much better than mine. It is a nice machine once I got rid of the gremlins (may have partially been a result of the "crap ware" that Dell includes). It is very smooth and handles Lightroom a lot faster than my old computer.

If saving money is important, the general thinking of most experts I read is that Windows built in anti-virus, Windows Defender is adequate. There are also a number of free antivirus programs that are well considered.

I agree with Loren. On my 25" screen (admittedly much smaller than a "wall hanger"), I prefer the photo of the kite in terms of sharpness.

I suspect he meant Hampden, CT.
