Is this a ‘they knew’ situation or is the ‘bukkake’ name a weird and horrible coincidence?

Pretty sure that’s not the case, unless you rewrite the entire disk every time you plug it in. Nothing is refreshing those magnetic domains.

Backwards: Driver Returns On Foot.

That was always one of my dads favorites.

No, they’re a lot better. The touch screen is actually usable and Android is incredibly much better than WinCE 7. Is it better than a mobile phone? No. Is it much much more durable than a mobile phone? Yes.

Current versions of this run Android.

They’re made by Zebra who bought the Symbol barcode reader company, who bought the Motorola mobile computer business. The hardware is basically the same though.

The article says no, just that it should be capable of supporting “sustainable” grazing if that’s possible. But who knows?

I’m generally okay with the idea of “you can get it for free and we’ll include ads to pay for it, or you can pay instead”.

Where I’m definitely not okay is “you can pay, and we’ll include ads anyway.”

Wow, so you pay them and they still screw you? Glad that’s a product I’ll never buy then!

Lots of great recommendations here. I’ll add some things:

1. Windows will be a great choice for something you are familiar with, but the current iterations are definitely heading in the direction of being advertising-filled messes. So it’s not a bad idea to look at alternatives.
2. Apple should be a good choice for a “just works” system without a lot of junk in it. But if you’re new to it there will be a learning curve. Software options are also more limited. AutoCAD looks to be your only major commercial CAD option there.
3. If you want to explore Linux, try a live usb stick and see what you think. It will feel very different and there will be a larger learning curve, but a liveUSB should be a risk free and relatively easy way to try it out and see if you love the difference or hate the change. If you still are interested at that point consider dual-booting or repurposing an older system for something to tinker with.
4. CAD in particular might be a sticking point. Windows will give you the most options. You didn’t mention whether you’re tied to a specific system as is common for a profession / livelihood or whether you’re open to options. If you’re able to look at alternatives— AutoCAD is on Mac and Windows, SolidWorks is on windows only. QCAD is a smaller option for 2D CAD on all three platforms and I’ve been happy with it for everything I’ve tried to do.

Thanks for clarifying, I also misinterpreted!

It might be wise to edit the post to say something like “overwhelmed” or “paralyzed by the choices”.

The second you install outlook

Well there’s the problem right there! :-D

40 GB is pretty rough and personally I’d say about 120 GB is the lowest if you want some wiggle room without needing to frequently tinker with finding free space. But 500 GB is way more than necessary at least for now.
