Re: Lenovo Legion R25f-30 monitor

Before 2019 I was still on a 19inch Acer monitor and a Dell 20 nch monitor. Switched to a 24inch Dell monitor Christmas of 2019 as it was my first widescreen monitor and it took some getting use to.

Re: New Antenna

Figure skating you can get on the national affiliates like NBC, along with gymnastics. Tennis is also on the channels like NBC along with gymnastics and skating. Most areas get around 108 to 132 channels depending on the quality of your antenna.

Re: What distros have you been testing recently?

Re: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

I regularly stay up past midnight usually around 2am and dont get up very often before 10-11am. Im a night owl type and prefer the afternoon-evening period a lot more. My wife is the same way and unlike many seniors, I need more sleep than most, usually more than 8 hours.

Re: What hardware are you using?
