What have you bought recently?

Chromebook for a senior friend who can not resist replying to popups. Since Amazon is having a 'Prime' sale I thought it was the wisest choice. Not to be - Amazon wanted $209 for one. Then decided to look at Walmart. Same tech details, the one at Wally's was $156 with free shipping, and will be here one day earlier. Guess which one I bought?

Came (Fedex) about a week ago, nicely boxed and packaged. Included a padded laptop sleeve (unexpected). Easy setup, straight forward. The user is a 90 YO with very limited tech skills just wanted email, Facebook, her bank and a couple games. This case Chrome played much nicer with Linux and the 'no-op' for saved passwords worked as opposed to Firefox. I can't imagine how she will do, but it has been a week since she called.

Removed all her old units and cables to Goodwill.

Donations made with one hand, purchases with the other. Their prices have gone up since the new manager. Considering that everything is donated, they don’t have any expenses to purchase the goods. Probably costs more to operate the building. It’s a good cause so I don’t mind the spending of $20 today. A lovey new petite blue and turquoise Liz blouse for next spring. The sweater was used but in great condition. I should look for more things with a rose/pink background. Ages ago I bought a pink dress and couldn’t decide why I didn’t feel good in it. Realized it was the cool shade of pink, almost a blue undertone. It became a donation quickly.

I have that same phone.. but added to that I have several GPO 746 's in Black , and various other colours as well as Trimfones, and even a couple of 232's ... All rewired to work on the modern system.. I have one in my bedroom.. but otherwise I use Modern Dect cordless Phones... My hobby for many years was to buy vintage phones, and modernise them for sale.. now I no longer do that, but I keep the ones I have as part of my own collection which include GPO 332's which are quite valuable..

How long have you had them? I'll be interested in your review after a week or so. If they work for you, I'll buy some!
