I have my old Kindle 3G with keyboard. We used it one early spring, still some snow up in the Grand Canyon. I used it to read my e-mail. Slow but worked. My wife borrowed it for a long time, then returned it with a broken screen. I keep meaning to repair it but we keep buying new tablets, Samsung 7 Fire 7 Fire HD8 and I never get to it. If I had a barn full of old favorite cars and tractors, I would put it out there but it just keeps sitting on the shelf waiting for a promised repair.

I bought a big used (2-3 years old) DELL tower, a corporate machine. It is a screamer, to replace my old Dell tower (20 years old) but I have't set it up yet. I just keep using this little Chromebook because I can cut it on and it is ready to go.

I did manage to get 2 old 17 inch laptops loaded with Window10 for my grandkids back in FEB before they shut the border to Canada.

Just too little time I guess. OR maybe I am smarter than I know.
