Response to comment from Darrell
I like cryptic messages, Darrell, but your comment was so cryptic and brief that, since I hadn't fully woken up or had a sip of coffee yet, I couldn't decipher it even though it was the shortest comment I've ever had. So I figure that HP,,,,,,,, could mean that a Hewlett-Packard computer is the one you have, the one you prefer, or the one you recommend. So, not having anything better to do, I'll comment on all of those various scenarios.
I don't have anything against any computer, except Apple computers, and that would take an entire blog post on its own to explain. Almost all companies build high-quality computers, and I've owned other brands at one time or another.
But there are two basic reasons that I buy Asus computers these days. As I mentioned earlier, they specialize in high-performance computers for gamers, which are also powerful enough to work well with photo and video editing software. Another reason is that when I started building desktop computers for fun, I noticed many manufacturers were using Asus parts to build their computers, and simply putting their name on them.
A lot of folks may not realize this, but a lot of computer companies are using parts from other companies, such as Intel for their CPUs, Nvidia for their video cards, and Asus for their motherboards, and various other parts, so when Asus started building their own computers, I figured they must be pretty good since other computer companies have been using their parts for years.
Since then, I've owned seven or eight Asus computers. I own three right now, and I don't recall any of them giving me problems that couldn't be easily fixed. They have all lasted until they outlived their technology..... Just like my current 18-inch Asus laptop.
So thanks for your comment, Darrell. You gave me something interesting to think about and write about in these days of seemingly endless doctor appointments….. I’m not kidding, I think I’ve had more doctor’s appointments this last couple of months than in my entire previous life!!!

The Fall colors in my neighborhood.
This is what a red rose looked like before the invention of color film. The first black and white photography was invented around the 1820s, and the first color film was invented around 1910. Which means that for 90 years, this is what folks thought a rose looked like if they had never seen one.
