<888> 12/16/14 Tuesday 9:40 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I put the Lenovo shipping box on the top bedroom closet shelf. I threw out the garbage earlier, and I picked up the mail. I ate a 19 ounce Stouffer's tomato and meat lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda. I will configured the Lenovo ThinkCentre tomorrow. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. CIO <888> 12/16/14 Tuesday 8:00 P.M. The Lenovo ThinkCentre was not a tower model, but a desktop model. It uses the low rise PCI cards. I took the PCI Express video card Galaxy GeForce GT610 GC 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card out of the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, and I put its lower rise plate on it, and I installed it in the PCI Express slot without the scotch tape. I moved the PCI Express 256 meg. video card with scotch tape to the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I also took the AOC 23 inch model off the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, and I am using it on the Lenovo ThinkCentre. I put the 19 inch Acer LCD monitor for the right monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. The SIIG 5.1 PCI audio card would not fit into the one available PCI slot on the Lenovo ThinkCentre. I took the install off the Intel LAN card, and I put it in the PCI slot. Although it was recognized, it would not go on line, so I am using the motherboard LAN. I took off the face plate off the front of the Lenovo ThinkCentre, and I installed the SATA DVD/RW drive with a spare SATA cable that I had. The SATA connector is underneath the hard drive. I setup the Lenovo ThinkCentre with the 23 inch AOC LED monitor on the mahogany night stand to the right of the living room desk. I could not get Windows 10 X64 Technical Preview Enterprise edition to boot, but the regular Windows 10 X64 Technical Preview booted, and I installed it in a 60 gigabyte partition on the 160 gigabyte hard drive. It installed my save settings and Windows 10 apps, since it was online with the motherboard LAN which was recognized. I had to fiddle with it quite a while. I order for it $9.99 with free shipping TRENDnet TU2-ET100 10/100 USB Ethernet Adapter * For Macbook Air and Windows PC and StarTech.com 5.1 Channel PCI Surround Sound Card Adapter for $15.99 with $2.99 shipping for $18.98 total, it is also a low profile card which works with Windows 8.

Back in the old days, when I lived around Billy Baldwin's Billy Baldwin Decorates: A book of practical decorating ideas friends in Manhattan, the friendly people from Vermont used to sell live Christmas Trees at Beekman Place and Broadway and West 72nd Street. They would stand out all night long selling Christmas trees in the cold weather. I even used to go to a pub in Greenwich Village popular with Beatles and Beach Boys fans because of the music on their juke box which was owned by an individual from Vermont. Even in Key West, I stayed in a hotel http://casamarinaresort.com/ built by the Spotswood family from Vermont.

I then bought two 6 ounce cans of Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds for two for $5 and $$3 off with a bonus bucks coupon from the previous sale for $2 total. I then went further down Greenwich Avenue, and the town was pretty much empty on a cold winter's night. I sat out observing the two lighted big trees in front of the Senior and the Arts Center.

I did not use the Belkin control panel, but I used a power strip to turn in the Dell Latitude 4600i desktop on the far right side of the desk.

The lower control panel in the center of the desk underneath the IBM ThinkCentre turns on the Abit computer on the left side of the bedroom desk, and the upper control panel turns on the IBM ThinkCentre in the centre of the desk. I moved the printer stand from the far right of the desk to underneath the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer to the right of the primary work computer, so there is now room to place waste print out paper which does accumulate over time. On top of the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop near where the Lenovo tower will be, I placed a new Intel LAN card, the SIIG audio card, a new Lenovo RCA plug headset, and a new Logitech C600 web cam. I have two new spare SATA DVD/RW drives for it, and until I get it, I do not know what video card, I might try to use in it, since I do not know how its motherboard and slots are configured.

I will put the Dell Latitude 4600i computer on the right of the bedroom desk with the Eizo monitor on top of it. I will take out the SIIG audio card from the Dell computer and put in the Creative Labs PCI 5.1 audio card. I will save the SIIG card for the Lenovo tower. I will use the third Eizo monitor for the IBM ThinkCentre in the center, and will used the 19 inch Acer monitor for the Lenovo tower. Depending on what type of video card the Lenovo tower takes, I have a number of options. The Abit computer has a TV card that I will also connect up to the coaxial cable at that location.
