Greetings!This new computer will be the last component to complete my humble but finally adequate home music studio. I have been writing music my whole adult life, and I cannot wait to finally record it and share it freely with all of you.My main computer is so full of years of photos, documents, movie clips, and other film clippings, as well as my writings and documentaries, books, etc., that I cannot upgrade the operating system without either loosing or damaging past works and losing many hours of previous editing. And so, I would very much like to "start over" with a new or refurbished laptop for this old but suddenly within reach new venture, which is music creation, keeping my work and the memory and storage constraints all separate. My music will be free to all, as all my works have been and continue to be. Most importantly, the music production software I seek to use needs a newer version of both the operating system and hardware/memory my other computer cannot accommodate.Those who donate to this end will be listed as "supported by" on each song (data/metadata).If you would like to make a smaller donation toward this purchase, please let me know your intention by leaving a message stating so when donating or "buying me a coffee."
