I finally had to take my computer to the shop. Blank screens were never a good sign. You may remember that she’s old. If she survives, perhaps I will name her as one of the commenters suggested.
The local Apple Authorized repair place was up the road. It’s nestled by a used book and gaming store and pizza joint. My 7 year old son was with me and he roamed the small, mostly empty shop asking to touch everything in sight.
That’s why I saw a table full of two inch tall, gray figures sitting on a table.

When I asked about the figures, he said he’d found a reasonably priced 3D printer and had decided to print out all of the monsters from his D&D campaign. He was new to D&D but had obviously caught the bug. These were some of his tries as he got the hang of it.

And the best part? I got to buy some for a ludicrously low cost. (Because I obviously NEEDED them and so did my son.)

I can’t decide if I should try to paint them or take him up on his offer to print up one of my characters.
What have you found unexpectedly?
I was throwing out some old Windows program disks and old operating systems when I found the disk for 2007 Word and Excel. I had the receipt and the activation codes in a DVD holder. I decided to install it on my new laptop as a retire the old one.
It may be old…from 2007, but it still does the basics.
Yay for me!
