My computer is now a mutt

[pjohns]

Well, it is now official (or semi-official, anyway): I have a computer that is a mutt.

Not just a mongrel. But a mutt.

Just yesterday, I purchased a Logitech keyboard. (The previous keyboard--which was probably 25 years old, or more--was skipping; I needed to re-type many letters eight or 10 times.)

It was originally a Dell system; and I still have a Dell monitor.

I have an Acer CPU. (Yes, it is a desktop.)

And I have a Staples mouse. (No, I have no idea just who manufactures the mouse for Staples. I just know what brand name is imprinted on it.)

But just as long as it works...

Not uncommon. As a matter of fact the level of the lack of a heterogeneous environment you’re taking about is laughable in the face of Cloud Computing combined with on-prem infrastructure.

[Standing Wolf]

Um...yeah, what HE said.

Nothing wrong with that. One reason that I stay away from Apple.

I have a new keyboard on the way from Amazon for the same reason. I don't think anything with this computer is original equipment anymore. The Monitor is a 40 inch TV. Upgraded memory and new hard drives...
I just have to bang it on the side when the fans get too loud.

Acer doesn't make CPUs.

[Dr. Who]

Acer doesn't make CPUs.

He may be referring to the motherboard.

I hadn't thought of that, but it's an excellent point! Thanks.

My computer is also made up of various brands -- stand-ins for various parts (mouse, keyboard) that have failed.

Yeah, Acer's not too good. You can pick up real good refurbished Dells ( what I use) for about next to nuthin. I use a wireless keyboard AND mouse. Logitech is good stuff though.

They make motherboards?
Link me an Acer 1366 motherboard, please.
