I consider the computer I'm currently using to be the best computer I've ever had (I've built and/or upgraded most of them), even though it's using 32-bit Windows. I've had many computers since 1989, and this is, by far, the best and the fastest. I'm usually only doing one thing at a time, but I'll have Chrome open, with tabs open for the stock market, Gmail, Facebook, and maybe another site or two, ITunes, and a couple other programs I use--and I'll switch back and forth between Chrome and Calibre, or between whatever else I'm doing. I might also have a few File Explorer windows open, a PDF open in Chrome, and Calibre, when I'm editing a book (which is the only reason I use Calibre).

I don't play games on any of my computers. I have two 64-bit laptops that I use for specific purposes (usually when watching TV) and my old office computer that I gave to my cockatiel, who sits on the keyboard most of the time, watching his YouTube videos of other cockatiels. I recently gave away a computer case with everything in it, except the hard drives, since I retired over two years ago and no longer needed that computer.

I know I'll have to reinstall all of the programs I use when I upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit, but everything works fine now, so I really don't want to spend several days doing a clean install of Windows 10 64-bit and then have to reinstall all the programs I use, including all my tax programs from when I was a tax preparer (in case any clients call me in the near future). I think I'll plan on doing all of this when I upgrade the processor and motherboard in the future. I usually do those upgrades every three or four years...

Thanks, Rev. Bob! And thank you, JSWolf, for being a bit less negative.
