Read MoreTime for a Change
I’ll be switching computers very soon. This old Lenovo has served me well but with this BIOS clock going off every day and crazy restarts happening, I think it is time to get a new computer and transfer my data over while it is still alive! (Plus my husband wants to get a new computer [...]
