I received my repaired computer yesterday morning and I've been working continuously since then with it. Apart from anything else, the larger screen (17 inch?) is a pleasure to work with after the cramped screen of my work mobile. The hard disk (SSD) has been replaced and not only does the new disk directly repair the problem that I had last week, it also fixes several minor problems (like Firefox frequently freezing, more semi-alliteration) that I had ignored but were probably due to problems in reading the disk.
After all, I'm a software person, not a hardware guy.
One of my first acts was to backup material that has accumulated since
March, primarily videos and pictures from our two trips abroad. I discovered
that there is no small amount of duplication on the external hard disk, so I
devoted several hours to removing the duplicates. The 'videos' directory
occupies 148 GB on the computer's hard disk, 'pictures' 19.5 GB and
'songs'/'music' 91.9 GB (although this latter directory on the external disk
is probably twice the size), so cleaning up freed a great deal of space on
the external disk.
