The best we can

“The truth?” writes Frederik Backman in his book Anxious People. “The truth about all of this? The truth is that this was a story about many different things, but most of all about the idiots. Because we’re doing the best we can, we really are. We’re trying to be grown-up and love each other and understand how the hell you’re supposed to insert USB leads. We’re looking for something to cling on to, something to fight for, something to look forward to.”

I heard Frederik Backman speak at an Arts & Letters virtual presentation, and I couldn’t resist reading his book.

  151. Good blog post. A few things i would like to bring about is that computer system memory has to be purchased but if your computer can no longer cope with everything you do with it. One can mount two RAM boards having 1GB each, in particular, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should look for the car maker’s documentation for own PC to ensure what type of ram is necessary.

  152. Things i have seen in terms of computer memory is there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must fit in with the requirements of the mother board. If the personal computer’s motherboard is reasonably current and there are no operating system issues, modernizing the memory literally takes under an hour or so. It’s one of the easiest computer upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

  153. This site definitely has all of the information and facts I needed concerning this subject and didnít know who to ask.
